Back to School - teacher thread!
I’m really nervous about this upcoming school year. I’ve transferred to a new school which I’m hoping is a lot better than the school I came from. I was so stressed at my old school. So here’s to hoping to a great school year.

My friend got a bacon cheeseburger deluxe with cheese fries. With a side of two eggs over easy with cheese and toast. And ate it all and I’m just mixing my soup around.

Food Before and After Photos
So I went out with friends for the first time since surgery. Funniest shit ever. Ordered salmon that came with soup and salad. Needless to say I cancelled the salmon and just got the soup and salad. I didn’t take before pictures but the after pictures are pretty laughable.

Worried about my wife
The first year after my friend got surgery she kept getting sick. But it wasn’t from the surgery it was because she wasn’t taking her vitamins or eating the right way. Now she’s on her vitamin, and in the gym and doing much better

Worried about my wife
I think her not willing to exercise is the problem and not really the surgery. No one on this thread would be success if they didn’t eat right and exercise. Of course she’ll lose weight but she’ll never gain the muscle if she won’t exercise

@afakasiwife I had my surgery on the 2nd left on the 4ththey gave me the Tylenol codeine as well and it came up faster than it went down. After asking my doctor I’ve been putting fruit and peanut butter in my shakes. I’m feeling pretty good. I have a bit of soreness but that’s expected and I’m always tired which is also expected. So far I’m down 5lbs. And my first preop appointment is on the 8th HW:290 SW:268 CW:263

Sleeping on stomach after sleeve surgery?
I currently sleeping on my couch. My bed is too soft right now for me to get comfortable. I’m a side/stomach sleeper so during the night I end up turning to the side but as long as I prop a pillow under me I’m good.
