My sleeve was this past Monday. I currently have the "what did I do " thoughts. Watching my family eat regular food while I sip my Protein Shake down is very difficult. I know this will pass soon

I am on the liquid diet. The first two days were HARD. I had a terrible headache that just would not go away and of course can't take any NSAIDs this week to help fight it. My doc has us on a shake for Breakfast, shake for lunch and then a low calorie, low fat, no carb high Protein meal for dinner. Pretty much I eat 2 scrambled eggs for dinner. The only good part is the pounds are just dropping off left and right this week. Surgery Monday. I keep telling myself this is all worth it

Your steps are different than mine. Our step two is anything that can fit through a solid mesh strainer. It is pretty much creamed Soups, baby food and Jello for me. I was told meats I would not be able to get down until 4 weeks or so. The 2 pounds is probably just Fluid. Our natural weights are constantly adjusting. I would not imagine it is fat. You would have had to consume 7k calories to have gained 2 pounds.

My surgery is scheduled for Monday the 25th of September. 6 days and counting!!! I own my own business and I'm tying up loose ends and sending out orders. I had anticipated taking a full week off and possibly a second full week off. But in reading people taking a month Off? What is the average recoop time? Being my own boss has it's perks and I can take more time if needed but I can't imaging taking more than 2 weeks.

Opinions are like butts...everybody has one. What you are doing is right for you. I had a few naysayers giving their 2 cents at the beginning of my journey. I too have been fluffy my whole life and have yo yo'd and tried every program, plan, and fad diet under the sun, with the same result each time...defeat. I'm about halfway through my journey now, and can tell you this is the best thing I could have done for myself. Sometimes you have to turn a deaf ear to loved ones who think they know what is best for you. A year from now they will be the same ones marveling at your progress. In the meantime, don't let the muggles get you down.

I am glad I am not the only one who did not mention it to people. I told a few close friends and my immediate family members. They have tried to convince me that I do not need it but I am getting it done. I have some other family members that when I mentioned thinking about having the surgery they were so hurtful and disparaging that I quit talking about it to them. They have no idea in 13 days I am having the procedure
