You have to tell us what reactions you get. Going back to work smaller was a mixed bag for me- some people looked at me you could see them trying to figure out what was different. Most of the people who knew were okay, but some were intrusive and I could see them looking me up and down every time I would come around which for me was uncomfortable. Someone from another unit in the hospital heard I had gotten a tummy tuck (don't know how that rumor got started), came to my unit to find me, and actually touched my stomach and said how good it looked!! WTH?!? I know you're a guy so you probably won't have as many issues as the women do. Well everyone pretty much knew what I went out for so it's no surprise I'm not ashamed I did what I had to do to live longer healthier and thinner nothing anyone could say or do would take that away from me I went in on Monday after my doc appt and my he was like omg you look great so I'm sure that will be most peoples reaction any other s can go stuff it lol but tbh I had nothing but support before I went out so I assume it will be the same when I go back but I'll keep everyone posted its weird to me that I'm going back to work 50 pounds lighter then when I left 6 weeks ago

I can handle it but the bread is so filling and with the limited space up fill up really quickly

What is the face book page

How are you eating that I was sleeved 28/10 and still having trouble with runny mushy foodWell I was sleeved on 10/11/13 and I've pretty much been eating salmon,chicken breast heck I had half of a 6 inch sub from sub way only thing I have issues with is bread due to my baby stomach being so small and filling so quick

So today marks 30 days post op I started at 384 preop was 370 at surgery today I'm 346 and dropping I can't wait to see what it's like this time next year
