I'm 4 days post op, I started at one and today have been doing 2 ounces an hour I can feel it in my sternum like between my breasts when I'm done..

Mine was the 30th and it's been really good, how bout yours?

How are you doing Leanne? Do you have your date yet? First week post op has been pretty good for me. 13lbs lost already and every day post surgery really is better. Nothing really aches just a bit tender in the tummy. Prepare yourself for nothing more than tea, coffee, squash, clear Soup and plain no fat smooth yoghurts (skyr is nice)
Just visited our local garden centre, going to pot some hanging baskets this afternoon. Life seems to come back to pretty much normal after a week or so. All that stress and worry disappears.

Hi both, good luck. I am from Swansea and has surgery on the 4th April. I am the same as I have been overweight most of my life but had times of deamatic weight loss. If you need Any help or advice let me know.

Alhamdiallah 3al salameh. The hardest part is over. Now comes the fun part! I'm 3.5 months out and alhamidallah this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself.
I'm in NYC too.

Good luck! I'm on the 17th. Hope yours goes well!

Thanks Trittalynn! Good luck with yours as well.

I was sleeved 8/08/2016 after a lifetime​ of being overweight and diabetic. I had a heart attack on my 47th birthday (2013) due to the havoc I had put my body through. Finally, once I got insured in 2014 and decided it was time to do something I had thought long and hard about.
The surgery was about living, not vanity. There are obvious perks to weight loss but nothing beats the health benefits. No number on the scale, no clothes size. But, yes, that does feel good. It's just not my motivation. Living is.
It's a tough process. I think everyone, after the fact, thinks "why the heck did I do this?" I sure did. But,luckily, it's too late then and you have to give it everything you got. I compare my progress to no one else's. I take the stalls in stride. We are all different and will progress differently. I'd go crazy if I didn't focus on that. I have not set an unreasonable goal for myself. I'm looking at 170-175. I will get there but am not in a huge hurry.
So, my highest weight before I started my journey was 301 lbs. At the time of surgery I was 259 and, as of today, I am at 196. I am stalled and that's ok. I'm just so damn happy with what I've accomplished so far.
Thank you and much luck to everyone who has taken a moment to read this. You can, and will, do it! And so will I.

I had surgery on Thursday and went back to work Monday. My surgery was exceptionally easy though. Even if you have a rougher gomof it, 10 days should be plenty

I was only able to take 4 days, but I would have loved a week. -sigh-
