Hey guys I had my vertical sleeve gastrectomy on July 1st and I've lost 105 pounds since then! The top left is the day before my surgery and the bottom right is the day of my birthday. (October 31st) Finally starting to see a difference! So proud of myself [ATTACH]37404[/ATTACH]

I told everyone at work about my surgery and I took two weeks off...I work at best buy/geek squad as a customer service agent and it's a pretty physical job, lifting tvs and computers...doing occasional carry outs. Well lets just say...I should have taken more time off! I was so sick when I went back to work that I ended up in the hospital for dehydration! I'm about 5 weeks out now and doing much much better.

I had Taco Bell refried beans at three weeks out. I could only eat two bites before I was full though

Left is before and right is almost one month out. I was sleeved on July first in Mexico by Dr Jesus Ortiz. I had one stint in the ER with dehydration, and a severe sinus infection...but I feel like I'm over the worst and finally starting to do better. I can't really tell a difference...I've lost just over 50 pounds.

I took two weeks off...but I wish I had taken longer. I was sleeved on July 1st and I'm still having issues...I get really tired and often very nauseous.

In my opinion drinking soda is equivalent to drinking battery acid. Just drink tea or get a sugar free slurpee

Probably. But I didn't have a choice lol...I gotta pay the bills!

So I'm two weeks post op and I just started back to work yesterday and it was absolutely miserable. I work as a customer service agent for geek squad in best buy and I was so exhausted by the end of my 5 hour shift I almost fell asleep in the car on the way home! Lol... I was also having like cold sweats and nausea....then about ten minutes till the end of my shift I went in the bathroom and threw up! It was pretty sad. As if all of that wasn't enough...after work I went and got myself a small sugar free slurpee...I was hot and I wanted just a little treat...I knew I wouldn't drink the whole thing anyway...well I walked in the front door of my house and the first thing I do is trip over my 100 pound Great Dane... I went flying...and spilled slurpee all over me! So here I was just rolling around on the floor covered in slurpee...crying and my dog didnt even notice what had happened! She's such a freaking moose! Lol. Anyway...that's my story...bad times all around!

I'm 13 days out recovering very nicely.

I was gonna say...holy **** that's an extreme preop diet lol! I'm glad it was only two weeks

I've heard the marriot charges 8 dollars a day but I'm not sure, I would have to go over my paperwork to find out if they charged me

Wow you look great!!! How have you been feeling? More energy?

They hold about 3 or 4oz and they come at target 4 for 1.99 lol! I only had eyes for the pretty pink though lol
