I just can't get enough of my cat loving on my Sleeve

I have named it yet but I may have to fight my cat, Martini for it!!

I today I get to Celebrate my two week post sleeve surgery. My hubby being so incredibly thoughtful and sweet decided to get me a handmade gift from Etsy... He got me a sleeve stuffie!! It's so cute and just reminds me how happy I am to have done this!! I'm so lucky to have such a supportive hubby that gets my love for my sleeve. What do you think of my cute little sleevie??

Still doing awesome!! 25lbs down!! You??

Hi everyone!! Hope everyone's journey is going REALLY well whether you're waiting for surgery or have already been sleeved. Today marks 7 days since I started the 2 day pre op liquid diet (surgery on June 6th). I stepped on the scale this morning and found that I have lost 20lbs in the last week. While I had that moment of "OMG! That's awesome!! I'm happy!". Then I fall back into the "I'm still a major fattie though" and start doubting if the scale is "teasing me". I know this is part of the process...there is the difficulty of leaving the "big girl" vision behind but when does it happen?? And how do you really help yourself to break that mental block?

Thank you for all the guidance and tips. I too am 4 days post op and have already started the muscle milk. But were you all able to get in 70-80 grams a day on top of your liquids and vitamin doses?

So far I've been doing pretty good since surgery. I'm just having a hard time with the 70-80 grams of protein. I like the cytosport drinks - I used to like the Isopure but post surgery they tasted icky. How are you all getting the 70-80 grams of protein in each day without feeling like the protein drinks are overly sweet?

I was the exact same way. Just know once you do the scope (and it's VERY easy) the surgery feels like a breeze

And I'm officially going home!! Woo hoo!!

Thank you so much blondiebabs!! It's a story I want to tell since I had such an easy time in surgery and recovery. Hopefully it helps others.

Day two and everything is going really well still. I've been walking like crazy and been smiling all the way. I'm so glad it all went so smoothly and I'm not having the tough side effects. Looking forward to going home today!! I love being a Sassy Sleever!!

I feel the exact same way!! Even the nurses and other staff keep asking me, "Are you sure you had surgery because you're looking great!"

I'm still feeling fantastic!! When I first joined this site it was so helpful to read everyone's stories and experiences. It really prepared me for what to expect just in case. I'm just so blessed that it went so well and recovery has been smooth. Thank you for all of the support!! OH and P.S. I've completed 16 laps around my medical ward "block" because I feel so good!!

Still feeling awesome. No pain right now and I've done a total of 4 laps around my ward. After reading some of the stories of others I prayed for an easy surgery and recovery. I think I had the best luck ever!!

Yeah still feeling great!! Seriously shocked by the lack of pain and how easy it is

Hi everyone!! I'm out of surgery and feeling great. Not too much pain and I already did my lap around my floor for walking. This is so much easier than I thought!! I'll keep you all posted!!

Not in just yet!! A few more minutes.
