Wow time flys!

Congrats on having such a good recovery.

I'm thankful every day that I finally made the decision to have this surgery. I am down 13 lbs since being sleeved on 11/18/14, and if I only enjoyed the benefits I feel right now, I would be happy!
I can walk, dance, and stand for extended periods. I'm doing dishes and cleaning the house, which I haven't been able to do in two years. (Don't worry, I've had a housekeeper part time helping. I haven't been living in filth lol, but I've let her go now and see the housekeeping as part of my fitness regimen. My least favorite part, I may add.)
I've been out to eat, and ordered in twice as well, and I'm thrilled with the number of meals I get out of one dish ordered from a restaurant. I can eat anything so far, no problems with any food.< /p>
Four times I've overeaten or eaten too fast and paid the price of pain and nausea. The lesson is slowly being drummed into my thick skull and the bad habits, the addiction to food and its numbing qualities are getting tamed more and more each day.
I took one week off from work, and have been working at home for the last two weeks. This will be my final week at home, and I am actually looking forward to going back to the office. We have three holiday parties next week, and I'm simultaneously pissed that I have to pay for each of them considering the small amount of food I'll be eating, looking forward to eating tiny samplings, and worried that I haven't anything small enough and nice enough to wear.
Next week, on my one monthiversary, I will post pix.

Congrats to you. I have to say my energy level is almost scary to me. I can simply go all day long! Enjoy the parties and go get yourself a cute, but maybe cheap, outfit. I know, not the easiest venture at our size.

Good for you! Keep up your amazing work and can't wait to see photos!????

Ok saw my actual surgeon for first time and I am scheduled for EGD tomorrow. So we will see. I'm tolerating fluids a lot better today. So antibiotics and other meds must be working as they are treating that h pylori

I felt totally prepared after being on the forum for a year prior to surgery. Like vsgann2014, I was surprised at how easy my recovery has been.

Today I went out to lunch with my daughter and for the first time in years, I sat in a booth. I fit!!!

That's great!

People who have never been large have no idea how great this NSV is! When it happened to me recently, my niece and nephew (2 years old twins) couldn't understand why I couldn't stop smiling. One of my favorite NSVs and I'm really happy for you.

That has to feel great! The NSV's are what I'm so looking forward to. Clipping my toe nails, painting my toe nails, tying my shoes without having to hold my breath......and sitting comfortably in a booth. So very happy for you!!!

That's great. ......I am only happy when I see the booth tables that move. The ones bolted to the floor is awful.

Congrats! Thanks for keeping us posted on your progress.

I'm also 2 weeks post op. Have lost 40 lbs in the month of November but my energy level is still low. I work a cpl of hours, run an errand and feel wiped out. But all is well with diet progression.....

Glad to hear everything is going well!

Hello...we have the same surgery date. I'm doing great too! Today was my first day going to the gym...I took it slow because I was surprise that I couldn't do much, considering I feel Great! But one day at a time. BW/ 230...SW/ 200... CW/ 194.

Sounds like your making good progress!

Today I started, as my NUT calls it, "smashed/mashed", basically purees. It was awesome to eat instead of drinking!
For Breakfast I had one egg scrambled with a little grated parmesan. For lunch I had refried Beans with salsa and yogurt.
I was sleeved 11/18. HW 285 SW 266 CW 256
I had no complications and my recuperation has been much easier than I expected. I'm working from home until I am one month out. I still like to take a nap in the afternoon, but I'm walking better and further every day.

i didn't tell, and i'm getting sleeved tomorrow. i told them i needed surgery, and took one week off and then will be working from home for 3 weeks afterward. i may tell people afterwards, i'm not sure, but i didn't want to hear anything at all that would bring up any negative emotions (anger, fear, doubt, etc) plus i just wasn't in the mood to explain over and over again.
afterwards, i have a feeling i may become an advocate and broadcast it to the world... but for now, nope.
