8 weeks out tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Man... I just hardly cant believe its only been 8 weeks! It feels like ages ago I was sleeved.

Tomorrow its 8 weeks and in these 8 weeks my body has already gone through such a transformation! Still unbelievable, I'm losing weight so fast my mind isnt anywhere near catching up and realising it.:bananajump:

So far I have lost 42 pounds, and, whats even better, a TON of pain! I have fibromyalgia and just 8 weeks ago there was so, so, so much pain. Now I can honestly say along with the 40+ pounds I lost 50% pain.

Everything has prettymuch been a breeze. I'm already totally used to not eating much, drinking lots of Water and have been riding horses again since 5 weeks out. I have also not had any stall whatsoever. I weigh once a week, but I bet I havent even stalled for a day :)

Excersize is so much easier! I have not yet started anything "new". Just riding, cycling, walking every morning for an hour, and as long as that seems enough, I'll wait with any other sports.

Eating about 600-800 calories a day, sometimes less. I can eat everything, just havent tried steak yet ;) I do make sure I chew stuff I havent eaten yet until its liquid.< /p>

Also started back on my diet Pepsi:001_wub:, only in the evenings.

Well, what else can I say? Just that I'd do it again in a heartbeat ofcourse!:lol0:

Hope all of you who still have to be sleeved will read this some day, as I read other succes story's, and will give you some hope and courage :lol0:

I'm 8 weeks out too - surgery was 10/15. I feel just as good as you do - isn't it great. I've lost about 40 pounds and I love it. Congratulations on the first 8 weeks.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
