Hey all nyc family I was just sleeved on 11/12/12 and would love to meet some ppl in my area that can relate to me. I have a lot of questions of what's normal for me to be feeling & maybe u vets can help me out ;0)

I was sleeved on the 14th and I'm in NYC. Would be glad to share experiences

what's normal

NORMALl????

Here on the sleeve board??

NORMAL???? Us??? LOL

the one thing the same/normal - is that we're all different, physically and mentally

congrats on making it through week one

i hope you are continueing with a good recovery, and WLS went smoothly

post surgery - normal - tired, gas, little vomitting

mentally - you are adjusting/ realizing that you have made a life time committment to better your health and happiness

you follow the rules in the sleeve 101 handbook and you'll do great

"normal" to have many ups and downs - roads get bumpy - but we're all survivors

stalls are probably the most common bond we share - but they will leave, sometimes have to be more patient than othertimes

God Grant Me Patience Just Hurry Up About It

scale is different for all - some people lose faster than others, but thats ok - its not a race - this is the rest of our lives

if it takes you one month or one year longer to lose weight than someone else.....whats one year in the rest of your upcoming healthier life

don't compare your weight loss, the time it takes to lose weight to anyone else, how much weight you lose at a time

the scale can be the devil - try not to be a slave to it by weighing yourself constantly, daily etc.

weigh once a week, not more often

come here for "pearls" of wisdom advise, but.... medically speaking - always listen to your NUT and surgeon

welcome to the wonderful world of the sleeve

best of luck NEWBIE

hope this helped a bit

always happy to show off my new stats - i worked hard for them

good luck newbie
