If you asked me within the first 6 weeks post-op, I would have told you that I positivity regret the surgery. I took an abnormally long time to heal. My super swollen stomach prevented me from eating or drinking for those 6 weeks. Three ER visits for IV fluids are what basically kept me ticking.
Now, woohoo! I'm living up the sleeved life! I'm down 50 lbs so far. My surgery was Jan. 10, pre-op diet the 2 weeks prior to that. I had a 4-week stall that's finally broken. I'm thankful for this site so I knew to expect the stall.
I'm about 40% to my goal! When I think of that way, I'm super pumped!
