Soon...I found every day was exponentially better than the last

I only told my spouse and children. My wife had a hard time with my decision, she felt like I blindsided her. That certainly wasn't my intention. I need to make a change for my health. She has since come to appreciate that it was the right decision. I was going to tell my life long best friend as he planted the original seed of WLS when discussing his deteriorating health some time ago. Interestingly when I brought WLS in conversation recently he was quite dismissive I decided at that point he was out of the loop and never mentioned my intentions.

I also had my sleeve done on August 2nd. I work in medicine, full time primary care practice and emergency work on weekends. I was back to work 6 days post op. My surgeon told me to go back whenever I feel ready. Two weeks out I feel fantastic with easily twice the energy I had pre weight loss. I walked 3 km on my break this morning, will try again this evening. Obviously everyone is different and your mileage may vary.

Obviously everyone's mileage will vary somewhat, but I am hopeful everyone will have similar positive experience .

I decided to tell only my wife and children. I learned long ago that "friends" and coworkers have a natural tendency to adversely judge your actions irregardless if they are good or bad and there is no profit in their opinions, so why even bother. I don't need anyone else's validation for the informed choices I make.

I'm going back tomorrow which will make 7 days post op. Yesterday felt tired but today much better. Keeping in mind my work is more cerebral than physical.

Well had my sleeve with Dr Kelly on August 2 as planned, I am back home now. Very happy with the experience everything went very well. A little sore with mild nausea but no gas pains for the first post op day but I was feeling up to walking to the shops and Sams' club of all places on day 3. I feel like I am nearly 100% now. Was planning to take a week off from work but honestly I think I will go back in a couple of days. Good luck to everyone with their upcoming surgeries.

Will be at hotel Lucerna as well. Surgery fast approaching getting a little nervous. Started the the last 3 days of of my 2 week preop, liquids only. I am actually surprised how not hungry I am considering I have been working hard building a deck and finishing various projects. I made an awesome broth with my fresh garden vegetables , added a little chicken Bone Broth for added Protein and had that for lunch and dinner with a clear Premier Protein drink for Breakfast. It was so nice and effortless that I think I will just repeat again for tomorrow. I am amazed that I have lost 21 lbs in the preop phase.
