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:.

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!

Wow! You are doing so awesome!

I love this site, because it helps so many people, so I'm happy to help in anyway I can, as others have helped me :thumbup:.

When I saw Dr. Zane at my post op on Thursday he looked so tired and when I was in the hospital (Friday-Monday) he came to see me everyday, I asked him "don't you ever take a day off?", he just laughed and said he had to check on his patients to make sure they were all alright . So I would say yes to that gift .

I'm so glad you are doing better. Take care.

Thanks Maddie girl :thumbup:...hugs

It's so good to hear you are feeling better :thumbup: Sooo Awesome!! Congratulations on the new you!

Sleeve4me I am so happy for you! Just wait until the wave of relief that will hit you now that you did it made it through and feel you again!

That's great to hear!

That's great to hear!

Thanks sleeve family :tongue_smilie:

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

Hang in there Susie! :thumbup: I remember feeling exactly like you :scared0:. Unfortunately for me, it took me almost 4 weeks to start feeling normal again. But, I did get there. I hope you'll be one of the 2 weekers. I'm now eating totally normal foods (except nuts - I can start those at 3 months out). I'm getting around great, buying clothes in the Misses section (YEAH!!!), and enjoying the changes in myself. I'm still figuring some things out, but it's all good. You'll be there in no time!

Purchased some new tennis shoes and I'm gonna start walking tomorrow (still have 2 more weeks off from work) after I drop my daughter off at school yayyy!

So glad you are up and feeling like your self again! :thumbup1:

Thanks lil red :001_tt2:...went walking and I'm exhausted! Only was able to walk 20 minutes, I'm really out of shape :thumbup: ...but I will keep at it, little by little

sleeve, you are doing really REALLY well! 20 Minutes is good... just the fact you're doing it... that's great! You will be doing those 5k's in no time!

I'm so glad that you are past the worst of the healing! The 1st 2 weeks are the roughest. I remember feeling really great when I got to the full food stage and could exercise and lift weight again. That is when I really started feeling BETTER than I had before the surgery.

I am following your progress and hoping you have as good an experience as I am having! You deserve all the best things!
