Sleeved and Relieved

Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm feeling increasingly good about having had this surgery. I'm just hoping that I continue losing until I reach my goal weight. I've lost 43 pounds in the past 10 weeks (2 weeks were preop). That may not be as fast as some, but it's faster than I've lost on any diet, and I'm really not feeling deprived or hungry. I spent a while analyzing my weight loss graphs this afternoon, and it's just very encouraging. I got to advance my diet from "mushies" to regular food this week. So far, I haven't found anything that I have not been able to eat in small quantities. My two biggest remaining fears are 1) The possibility of developing a leak still remains. 2) The way that I feel since this surgery seems too good to be true. I'm afraid that either my pouch will stretch out over time, or my body will begin to produce more ghrelin, and that I will be hungry and want to eat more...Just hoping and praying that this is a lasting experience!
