Hello

I was sleeved on July 21st. It's been a journey with some ups and down moments for me as well. I have good days and bad days. But, I don't regret the surgery. It's saved my life. For me, it's understanding that wls is a tool and not the magic answer. I've lost pounds and inches so far. I try not compare myself to others. I look at where I was before the sleeve and where I am now. My clothes fit better and it gets easier to move around. I embrace my triumphs. I have stalls too but I have faith I'm in control of this journey. positive thinking and support will help you through this journey. Most importantly, you have to believe that it does get better. Hang in there. Hugs!

Congrats to "sweetie" and "lovingdave" for your recent sleeve. I'm thankful to have your support and would love to go through this journey together. Especially, since we're sleeved at the same time. How are you doing? I hope your edema went down. I have my post-op appt in 2 days. I'm still feeling sore and gas pains are still there. I move around and take gas x like crazy. My taste buds and smell are super sensitive. Bottled Water and yogurt seem to doing okay for me. I am a little concern too with how solids will go down once I'm approved to eat solids. Taking it day by day.

Thank you all for the encouraging words. It's a relief to know that it will get better and that others had similar experience. I'm staying strong. It's a difficult adjustment, but I am definitely looking forward to new and improved me! Thanks all! I will keep everyone posted on my journey.

Hello all.
