@zone_03 and @DaAlchemist Thanks guys. Regarding work, I felt 100% by day 6. But definately depends on how your body heals, age, health status... For me I'm 32, 6'3, no pre-op health conditions except being large and in charge... I've read some guys with high blood pressure, diabetes... and so forth having post-op issues in recovery... Also I've come to realize that the stories you read aren't the norm... You will read 9 bad stories to 1 good story. And these forums seem to be a spot for people to greave, complain or find out if "they are normal"... Good luck on your journeys. M

I’m 3 months post. Down 80lbs. And walking out of every pair of pants I own. Excited to be cleared now to do some weight training as I do feel my muscles have shrunk a bit in the weight loss.

Scale read 399 today. First time in 6 years to see the 3's. Feeling pretty good about that one.

Gain that weight in muscle mass. Gives you that attainable goal and keeps you working.

Hey guys, So I was sleeved on July 10th and have been reading through this thread... First off. Thanks. Glad I'm not alone here as the big dude. All the successes you guys have had is giving me some much needed boosters. My max capacity before pre-op was 460(ish). Never really nailed down the exact number but I was hovering that since christmas. I'm down to 412lb and excited to see some 3's here shortly. My wife is already noticing a change in me, even though I don't necessarily see it. Needless to say. I'm 12 days post op and feeling great. Not sure if its weird or not, but I feel super normal. I feel like I can eat whatever (but I KNOW I shouldn't and I wont)... Zero pain, zero anything really. Been walking my dog and jogging my stairs with ease. Been funny even noticing how 40ish lbs down and my energy levels are increased. My biggest struggle is trying to find a way to get my protein in. I'm currently getting around 60g... But can't seem to push the 80g mark. Going to start the puree on Monday and might just blend up a ribeye or something... Any advice? Thanks Marshall
