4 weeks since surgery

Excellent progress so far! Your rockin that sleeve!

As far as having 110 lbs to go look at it this way, how many times have you started, thinking about how far you have to go, only to stop after 20-30 lbs and go back up? That won't happen this time... sleeve is an excellent tool and it works if you work it. So yeah, it may take time, but it will be far less than without surgery if you were continuing to yo yo and try on your own. Even if it's a year, or two.... then you have arrived. I think back and man if I'd done this 6 years ago when I first thought about it, I would have been at a healthy weight for 4-5 years already! Instead I'm 310! My highest ever!

So yes just hang in there, and it will come! Best wishes.

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am always looking for people to talk to for encouragement. It sounds really great that you are gettalong well. For me the first week was the worse on all liquids. Lots of weakness. It sounds like you had a longer recovery. I only had 1 3 1/2" incision and it was all closed up immediately. I am also on a journey and my journet has stalled I have been at the same weight for about a week. I guess I need to start more exercise. Good luck on your journey. If you want to communicate more my e-mail is azcooper@suddenlink.net. Have a wonderful day!!!!

You've done really great thus far, and I promise every day, week, month gets better.

Right now, it's tough to be perky when we're so low on calories and food, but it does get better as the weight comes off.

As for eating, once you get to more solid, dense protein sources, the restriction is really noticeable. I didn't eat more than 3oz of meat for almost 4 months, and that's all I could get in. No extras.

Now, further out, I can still only eat 4-5oz of meat, and couple bites of veggies, and when I say bites, I mean like six steamed green beans, or 2 broccoli florets with a little cheese sauce. I'll be 11 months out next week, and have lost 140lbs in those 11 months. I lost the first 113lbs in the first 6.5 months. So, it can be done, you will be successful, and you'll feel more fabulous with every passing day.

Congrats! You are doing awesome and the energy will get better every day!
