I went to my one week post op visit today. I have lost 10.2 pounds!!!! My incisions look great, no problems, and I feel great today! Looking forward to Monday when I can start blended foods! All in all, I really feel great about my decision! I go back to work on Monday and really hope I adjust well to that environment. It should be ok, most of the ladies I work with are always on diets and the provider I work with has a background in being a personal trainer and a dietician. Hoping if I have a stumble or get stuck I can turn to her on a daily basis. Wishing everyone luck on their journey and may God continue to bless us all.

Congrats on your surgery and heading in the right direction. That is awesome.

I don't mean to poop on your party, but I do have to mention that the first 10 come off pretty easy and quickly. This is similar to like all the other diets I tried where I would lose 10 in the first week and then struggle after. I would get discouraged and throw in the towel. The difference here, though, is the sleeve doesn't really allow us to do that, but mentally, it can be frustrating. If you have been reading the forums you will see this common theme. Just know that this is normal. Also know, that you have the 3rd week stall coming up. This, too, is completely normal. It is a part of the journey as your body gets accustomed to your new consumption.

Again, congrats! 10 pounds which are never coming back.
