I was sleeved on November 17th, 2011. I haven't had any complications and am loving it so far. I've lost 32 pounds so far, but that includes my 2 week pre-op diet. 22lbs since the actual surgery. I can tell some differences, but sometimes when I get overly full, I feel down on myself like I've done something wrong. But when I think about it, I realize how little I actually ate! I just FEEL like I ate a lot and that's kinda the point of all this right? I am having problems with drinking enough and I'm not getting enough exercise. I hope that these are things I will continue to work on. I'm excited for my 6 week check up. I hope I am losing at an average pace.

Just walk. Six weeks out is a little early to be starting much exercise besides walking. You will get there and it will be fun!

I'm glad your sleeve is working so well! I love mine, too!!

Yes my surgeon says walking is the key to faster recovery. 32 lbs is great! I'm sure you have been getting compliments like crazy.

you are doing great! dont be hard on yourself, you will get to know when to stop eating before you are to full. its like you are a baby learning how to eat again. the weight loss is totally awsome! keep up the great work. as for exercise, I just hike and dance to the wii, michael jackson the experience.....it is the best game ever, and I really burn the fat on it without even realizing it. I totally recommend it to anyone who hates to exercise but loves to dance!

You are doing great!!! I walked mostly at first and then went back to classes at the YMCA at about three months. So happy for your success so far. I am sure there will be many more accomplishments to come!!!
