That is my biggest fear is lack of energy! I'm scheduled for March 28th and I have 3 small kids. EVERYONE has said the sleeve is the "best decision" they have ever made in their lives so I'm hanging on to those words! No one has ever said it in the first week though as far as I know Most everyone seems to think thr turning point is around week 2.

I'd love to hear back from you with an update. I'm new to this board and you are the first person I've found with only 70 pounds to lose. I'm scheduled for March 28th, I weigh 168 but I'm only 5', 0" and have a bmi of 33. I have three young kids and a traveling husband. Sounds like I might need to go out and get a job pretty quick! I'd love to know how you are doing. Did you hit goal, how long? Honestly, my biggest fear is becoming weak from rapid muscle loss with only 60 pounds to lose. Besides being overweight, I'm really healthy and active but I had back problems after my 3rd baby so will never be able to use cardio for fat burning anymore. Thank you!
