Month 4

It has been almost (just a few days shy of) 4 months since my sleeve surgery. The first month and a half was rough. Just feeling tired, and struggling with getting all the fluids in. Aside from a minor stomach bug, no complications thus far. I don't count my recent lupus diagnosis as a complication because I showed signs of that before surgery, and the 2 are completely unrelated.   As of today, I am down 60 lbs. What? Yes, let me repeat that. 60 LBS!!!! In general, I feel good. I joined a gym

Post Op Day 10

Today is post op day 10 for me. I have begun to feel better day by day. Im still on mostly liquids, though have been trying puddings , and apple sauce. Ive found that I am extremely sensitive to sugar. Anything over a couple grams causes me to get clammy, dizzy, and eventually have to rush to the bathroom. My sister in law who has had GB tells me this is what "dumping" is. So I have been reading labels like a mad women ...HAHA   I noticed on the scale that after the first week I am no longer l
