I had my two week follow-up appointment today. I already feel back to myself (except for eating of course)! My appointment went great. The doctor commented that I have had a smooth, above-average recovery. I never had any vomitting and I have been tolerating all of the foods that I have been instructed to eat. In the past four weeks (two weeks of Optifast and two weeks post-op) I have lost 29 lbs! My clothes are already getting baggy, and my blood pressure medicine was decreased today (started feeling light-headed). I was told things could and would change this quickly but I never actually thought they would!

I am still getting used to my "new" stomach and the new way of eating. I need to master stopping one bite before getting that tight/uncomfortable feeling instead of one bite after. I was advanced from puree to soft/moist Proteins today with a little bit of vegetables.

I am extremely happy with my results and blessed that I have had such a smooth experience to date!

Congrats sounds like you are having a fast and smooth recovery

Congrats, AJA!!! Welcome to the loser's bench and keep on rocking that sleeve!

It will only get better from here on out! Congrats!

YEAH!!! I'm glad you are healing so fast!

Awesome!!! Glad everything went well! Congrats on your loss so far!!! I still sometimes have trouble with taking 1 bite too many, so your not alone :blush5: it takes time.
