Hello everyone, I had my sleeve on March 2nd. Was floored at my first weigh in today - 21 pounds since the surgery! I am so excited - definitely made these last two weeks worth the effort. I am also feeling great! Asked my doctor to release me back to work early but he still feels I should get some more rest if I'm able? For those just getting it done, push through any pain and regret - I know I'm still new too, but I promise you it gets better! Hope everyone else is doing as well.

So happy for you! I'll also be having 2 weeks off work and am planning to use the time to clear out any remaining "junk" from the kitchen and outing together folders of recipes and meal plans so that I set myself up for success. My surgery is this Saturday!

Congratulations!!!
I had my 1st weigh in today and happy to say I lost 25 pounds yayy me :)
My doctors also said I could return to work if I felt ok. I started back this Monday and could not do it the whole day so I'm now doing half days until I have the energy to day full days.

Congrats again and keep up the work!! [emoji6]

Thank you both. Yes, the energy thing is crazy - I feel like I have a ton but get worn out quick. I finally got my work release after 3 weeks, but with a restricted schedule as well. Congrats & Good luck to both of you on your journeys :)

I was out a week, went back for half days a week and then full time the 3rd week. I was down 25 lbs at my post op exam. Surgery was March 23rd. I'm feeling amazing. Congrats on your loss so far!! 😊

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
