Going for VSG on 2/28 and trying to get mentally prepared. Have heard and read a lot but was wondering if any you post-op folks had anything that surprised you or that you experienced after the sleeve that you weren't expecting.

Thanks.

My biggest surprise was when I went to my 7 week Drs appt and had lost 53lbs. I don't believe in weighing myself every day, so the day I got home from the hospital, I threw away my scale. I only weighed in at the doctor appts. And let me tell you, that made me so very happy. I didn't notice any stalls during the first year at all and only had perfect weightloss results. The other surprise was when i would "think" the clothes should fit, when infact I had "missed" the size and they were way too big. . .that was way cool. . . You will love your little surprises too! good luck

My new energy level has been my biggest surprise post-op!! I can and do accomplish more in a day than ever before!

Immediately, it was the nausea post-op, other than that my surprise is how easy it's been! I secon'd the energy comment, I have tons too and can't sleep as long at night as I did pre-op (I was getting 9 hours or more and now it's more like 7-8).

Def, the speed of weight loss. I was prepared for a slow and steady journey but the weight started melting off and luckily hasn't stopped.

You guys are great inspiration! Keep it up, whee!

Mine were ACTUALLY and FINALLY hitting goal!! I'd been fighting for that for so long... and that one itsy bitsy other thing, fitting my once big booty into a size 0 Jeans.. LOL Yeah, never thought THAT would happen.

Va Va Voom! Way to go , and great to see it is working. Congratulations!
