Hello All I was just looking over and cant believe how far I've come I'm down to 320 in a little over 7 months coming from 435 Im still in shock but feeling great

Thanks All I really found your suggestion helpful I just got my 2 week clearance and hit the gym this evening stuck to the treadmill and Bike but was wondering about more I didn't want to hurt myself but felt like I could have did more. But at this point I was happy not to be walking around my house lol.

Maybe twice in the hospital but none since I've been home got sleeved on the 16th

Good Evening All, I was Sleeved on the 16th spent a night in the hospital I honestly have to say that my experience has been totally unreal I have been feeling great like really good since day 3 I was off the heavy pain med and walking about 1.5 miles a day I sometimes wonder if they really did any thing but after filling super full after a half bottle of water Im like yeah they did lol.

Well guys I made it thru 2 days post op went from 416 to 391 on my 2 week liquid diet right now learn to eat has been the hardest part Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app

Good Luck Ladies I'm also on the 16th

I go in for my sleeve on the 16th I started out on this journey back in March while I had to do a 6 mo of supervised diet it just all seem like it was so far away having to jump thru all the hoops but when I finished it all it I still didn't feel like it was happening it wasn't until I got a call from my surgeon saying he wanted to talk but this was not a pre-surgery visit that he wanted to make sure that this is what I wanted to do. I told him I've come this far to turn back now that the risk out weight doing nothing or the risk of relapses would leave me in worst shape and older considering I just turn 35 last month a wife and 3 kids . This is all gonna seem crazy as I still wonder if this is the right thing to do but at the end of the day look at how this will benefit your life

So I just got the call this is all really happening got my insurance approval ( Only took 3 days) and this afternoon is my Pre-Surgical visit so looks like come Oct. 16 will be my surgery date

Thanks, I'm taking 3 weeks but hoping I'm feeling at least 70% after 2 weeks. Looking here most took between 4-6 weeks but I have heard of some people going back in a week Im not sure what they do but I'm like how is that possible.

Oh wow you guy are really knocking this out post op and here I was worried I had fought my surgeon on doing the sleeve over they bypass. I start the liquid Diet next Monday while my surgeon only requires a week I figure I do 2 to just train for what's coming afterward. Honestly it all feels like a whirlwind between prepping for taking off work, having the talk with my kids, thinking about what i'm going to tell everyone afterward. Right now only a told a hand full of people in my life Im not really ready to let everyone know that I'm going thru with this often time I get the whole your 6'6 you dont look that big or Classic you must play football line. How hard is it to put muscles back after such a rapid weight lost ?
