I just got my sleeve on October 26 so it's not even been two weeks. I'm down about 10 pounds but the main thing I notice is since I'm not eating very much I'm not so groggy or in a food coma ALL THE TIME like I used to be. I can't believe how clear my head is and how much energy I have not having a belly full of junk food and carbs. I'm in such a good mood, well probably because I'm walking every day which I haven't done in years and those endorphins are making me smile at everyone and people who have no idea say, "Well, you look good." I don't look any different at all yet haha but I'm smiling and happy. That's probably a huge difference.

I'm optimistic and super excited about what life will bring for the first time in a long time.

Other than the really bad acid reflux which I am going to see the doctor about in my appointment in a few days, I feel pretty good.

My resting heart rate is now 70. It used to be around 80-85.

I used to have the band and had a revision to gastric sleeve. Whenever I used to take deep breaths, I could feel the band and it felt like a stricture. Not having it in my body feels great just because I was always aware that it was there and it was always bothering me.

I huff and puff less when climbing the stairs.

I'm only 3 months out but I went to a movie for the first time post-surgery and the sides of my hips did not SQUEEZE into the seat. There was a little bit of air between me and the arm rests. Yay!
