I will be 4 weeks post op tomorrow and am really having a hard time right now. Nothing tastes right, eating is just plain uncomfortable and i have to admit that i am depressed. I knew this was not going to be easy and would take work, but the reality of it all has set in, and i just feel like crying. To top it all off my husband is not being supportive at all. My weight lost should always be more according to him, and when i am down he says "didn't you know it would bee this way?" I just need some support from people who understand right now. Thanks for listening to me whine.

I'm feeling that way right now at 3weeks. I think part of it is the heartburn. Good to know it gets better.

I was sleeved on the 2nd and am down 20 lbs even since my sleeve. It has been a smooth journey so far. No nausea or pain. I'm feeling good!

My steri strips came of at a week out. My dr said to take them off then if they hadn't fallen off yet. I was allowed to be on. Soft foods at 2weeks. I stay on Soft foods until 28 days. In my soft food phase I am allowed soft dark meat chicken.

You might want to be careful of the advocare drinks. The meal replacement is high in calories an carbs. 24 grams of carbs and 220 calories. My dr recommends under 10 grams of carbs per drink.

I had my surgery on the 2nd and went to the doctor today. Down 19.8 lbs!!! I am thrilled!

Great job!

Congratulations on your surgiversary! I am 9 days post op and hope that in one year I can look back and see all of the positives that you do too.

Congrats on a great loss!
