Oh tabitha! I hear ya! I felt the same way for a few weeks. Shed a lot of tears and asked myself what the hell did I do to my body. Well, I am 5 months out and feeling great. Down 65 lbs and work out 3-5 times a week. I took a little while to get the hormones in check but ur body went through a huge change. Please give yourself time and love yourself because u will be so grateful for your sleeve. I know I am and will be forever with all the positive changes that have come along. Keep at it and you'll do great!

I was on it right after surgery because of allergic reaction to the glue is you'll be fine. My doctor put me on it.

I'm 5 weeks PO today and feeling really great. sleeping on my stomach yeah. Walking do much more and further. I'm still exhausted by 8:00 at night but I've been keeping active all day at least. I'm down 28 lbs since surgery and still on mostly soft foods. I go back to the dr Thursday.

I am almost 5 weeks post op and today I went to a charity walk event that lasted an hour walking at a track. It was fun and I lasted the whole hour and it was 3.7 miles. I was thrilled. I have so much more confidence already. My dad actually said he could tell already that I've lost weight just looking at my face.
A good day especially after a rough couple weeks at the beginning. I'm down 27 since surgery and 38 overall. And to think I regretted it the first couple weeks. Not anymore!

Way to go!!!!!

I'm only two weeks post op and I have gone back and forth on regret but I've been very tired. I'm not very patient either. Just make sure you make a list of the pros an cons of doing this. I have been looking back at that list myself. And u definitely want to have the right mindset. Know you are changing things permanently and u have to live with that decision everyday.

Thanks metro chic. I thought I was the only one that regretted it after surgery. Everyday is getting better but this is tough and will be until we get used to things and figure out what works for us. Let's keep trudging through. Thank god my husband has been great dealing with my emotions....eek. Good luck all

I'm new to this forum so I'd like to start by saying congrats to you. I had my sleeve surgery done Monday and I'm feeling better but still sore. I've had some redness and itching near the largest incision. Did this happen to u?
I'm very excited for my journey and your story is inspirational
