I'm so glad you are considering different ways to improve your health!! good for you!

I am 27 years old, I was sleeved on May 9th. I tired easily as you do now. I felt limited and overlooked.

Post-op, I find that these first few weeks are a bit lonely for me. I would recommend having surgery in the warm summer months so that you can be as social and out going as possible during your recovery.

I was accustomed to networking and working 60 hours a week. Now I have to SLOW DOWN and stay home because I tire easily. The lack of sociability is challenging for me. I chose to believe I am sacrificing six weeks of comfort now to prepare for decades and decades of a life I can savor...

I would suggest having a priority in your life that can keep you inspired before surgery, during recovery and beyond such as college courses or Career endeavors. Don't allow "fixing obesity" to be a criteria for moving forward in your life today

I work in an office and I worked 1/2 a day, on day 8 post-op. Then I did another 1/2 day on day 15 post-op. Then I did 1/2 a day on day 18 post-op. Also, I walk to church on Sundays and spend about 4 hours in my lengthy Baptist service lol. I intend to work four 1/2 days next week. Rebuild your stamina as best you can and keep your managers in the loop.

Good for you! I wouldn't worry about avoiding carbs before surgery; try to eat a lot of Protein. You will need these reserves to get through the first 72hours post-op. I was sleeved May 9th and have had a wonderfully smooth recovery process. You'll be glad you made a preventative decision!!
