Hey guys! Glad to find my August Sleevers, anyone have an iPad and having trouble learning to add friend? I have no clue how to?

aug 7th sleever here

You may be just fine, my friend had hers in December and she was back in a week. She's done well and down 115lbs, just remember your protein and hydrate well. Good Luck!

We are in the same boat! Hopefully the recovery won't be too difficult. I am thinking 1week without kids, one week with them then Labor Day so a short week. By then we should be smooth sailing as far as recovery goes. I think you have an extra week in there but we got this! Good luck!
