Hello to all
I hail to you from Philly and had my surgery at Jefferson Hospital. Their Bariatric program and staff are awesome. I am 6 weeks post sleeve. The journey has been rough but well worth it. This forum has been a blessing . Instead of calling the on call staff with questions I have been able to answer most just by reviewing some of the shared experiences. My family especially my husband has been my rock without him not sure how I could have done it. The negative reaction I have received has been from my neighbors and that is okay. I wish you well with your journey just remember who and why you are doing this. Everything will fall into place according to the plan. Listen to your doctor!

It's not hypocrisy. As you rightly mentioned, eating for pleasure got me to over 400lbs and limited mobility, high blood pressure and borderline diabetic. I understood when I decided to have surgery that food and I could no longer have the same relationship. It's a hard mindset to change but if I want to be successful (which I do or I wouldn't have had a major surgery to significantly alter my body) I have to stop thinking of food as comfort and pleasure and treating food as what it is supposed to be - sustenance only. I find pleasure in the activities I can now do.
So I don't hate food because I'm losing weight. I'm getting healthy because I changed my relationship with food.
Any of the successful post ops - of which there are many on here and I plan to be one of them - will tell you this process is much more mental than physical. The surgery is just a tool to help you as you actively address the mental aspects. The surgeon only changes your stomach, you have to decide if you want to address the issues that led you to needing surgery and if you do, that work to address them is all on you.

I am 4 weeks post sleeved. Every day I feel stronger but far from normal. My doctor told me normal usually occurs 6 months to a year. I am still in the healing phase. With this being said ,my expectations were put on a realistic track. Slow and Easy.

Well I got an appointment date of the 14th for some plastic work to be done around the mid section. I am not sure how it will go and I am a bit nervous as to if I will like the results or not. It may sound a bit self centered but I am hoping they take enough so I am happy with it after putting myself through it. I will do a before VGS and after plastic pics when it heals up a bit. Wish me luck!

You look awesome
