I had my sleeve surgery a week ago today, and I feel absolutely wonderful! I wasn't sure how I would do post op so I took 3 weeks off work- I am sure I will be going back to work next week. This week I am focussing on me. I am working out at the gym, going for walks in the neighbourhood and enjoying watching the scale move downwards.

Just wanted to share how great I feel!:blushing:

That is great news! We are on a similar path. I was sleeved at just about this time 1 week ago as well. I am surprised at how well I am feeling, and I am going to move to the treadmill today for some longer walking.

Keep up the great work!

Great to hear you're already at the gym.

mdgibbs - hey stranger lol. promise i'm not following you around. I signed up today after deciding on the sleeve. =) glad you're feeling so well already!! I hope I do as good as you!

Mdgibbs- we were sleeved on the same day!

I was sooo excited to be able to have yogurt this morning- well that little container of yogurt may be my breakfast ALL WEEK- I was full after about 2 bites! ...lol

Glad to hear you are both doing so well -- keep it up!

I am 13 days post op--does that mean I can be eating yogurt? Would that be yogurt without preserves?

My doctor said I could have yogurt- I just had some Fage greek yogurt

I am 13 days post op--does that mean I can be eating yogurt? Would that be yogurt without preserves?

I was eating yogurt by day 13 - no chunks of fruit in it though - Greek yogurt with SF syrup is s'pose to be really good and is higher in protein; however, I've not tried it yet.

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to spell this out for me. I did get a guideline packet from my doctor but this is much more specific and it help my anxious soul. I'm copying this to a word doc. and printing it. Thanks again.:thumbup:

Sounds like you guys are doing great, glad to hear it!

I love to see others having success too!

You are VERY welcome -- I am glad I saved all my emails as I have referred back to them so many times. Glad it helps you to feel less anxious - you've got enough to deal with in learning how to eat for your new stomach, you don't need to be stressed out about it too!
