I am 8 days post op and just couldn't be a happier camper! This was a LOT easier than I could have imagined.
Day one was tough, as was the first few days. No problems with nausea and I stuck to the book. I am using shot glasses as my cups/bowls, and I bought some cool baby spoons/forks to use from here on out.
Ive been dropping weight like gangbusters. Prob 3-4 pounds a day at least. I am at the lowest weight in prob 15 years as of today.
My job keeps me pretty active (working at Microsoft in the labs, so some lifting and kicking servers into submission
and I was able to go back after 8 days. As such, one can expect to get a good portion of their strength back in fairly short order. Naturally, I am going to take it a tad easy for a couple of weeks, but my fears of being laid up for a long duration were unwarranted.
I encourage everyone considering the sleeve to jump in with both feet and never look back. I have taken my life back, and am loving every single monument of it.
