14 days out and I feel...

GREAT! I feel like myself again! I'm so happy! The next 2 weeks I'm going to start walking more and hopefully start exercising :-). Thanks to all for you're encouraging words, and you were RIGHT it does get better with time:001_wub:.

So glad to hear it. It's amazing how quickly you go from "what have I done" to "ow!" to "Wow! I feel like myself again".

Looking forward to "watching" your journey.

Yes, yes, yes! I remember crying in the hospital wondering "what did I do?" LOL (it wasn't funny then), but I'm so glad for you and others who were here to support me:crying: sniff sniff thanks again Mini :-)

I just realized I didn't take my pepcid ac today (I just forgot) do you think that has anything to do with it???

Probably not ... 2 weeks out is about the time I started feeling like me again.

I am very happy for you.

Well I don't know what in the world happened from yesterday to today, but WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES seriously LOL! Thanks again Mini:001_wub:

So glad you're feeling your old self again Sleeve4Me! You are doing great, you're an inspiration. I can't wait til I feel a bit more normal, and knowing how well you are doing gives me the motivation not to lose heart.

Keep it up!! xx

I said those exact words, when they woke me after surgery, and the entire night. "what did I do", LOL (it is funny now looking back on it, but not then I really thought I was going to die), but I'm feeling better each day, and actually going back to work part time on Monday. I'm glad you are feeling better.:thumbup:

I am two days out and still at the "What have I done?" stage. Feeling very anxious.

Day 2-6 were the worst for me. It just doesn't feel right and I was scared I would never feel like me again. Somewhere around day 10 I woke up feeling like woah....this isn't so bad. Now at 29 days out. I feel just like me but a me thats lost 19 pounds and a me that can't eat a whole lot. Other then that I am feeling pretty damn good and no longer feel the buyer's remorse.

Trust me I know (as well as others) how you feel :001_tongue:. It gets better I promise :( hugs.

Good to hear! And it's great that you posted that because it just reinforces to the newbies that it DOES get better. I think it's so important that everyone hears that message. It's amazing that so many of us felt the exact same way early out. You are going to be looking great in no time!

I just got a call from Dr. Zane's office for a follow up appt. next month. I'm still so surprised at how organized they are with seeing so many patients...somehow I didn't expect to hear from them again with all that I've heard about the volume of cases they've had. I feel like bringing him a gift of appreciation for changing people's lives! This experience has been a dream come true for me. I still have a feeling of expecting the weight to come back but it never does. It's odd getting used to "normal".

Keep us posted on your success! Congrats!
