4 Weeks Post Surgery: Things that are different

[Positive44 103]

Things I've noticed 4 weeks after surgery:

1. As my body shrinks, I kinda have a butt now.

2. I'm slowly able to put clothes which are too big in a bag to donate.

3. I make time to get 10,000 steps per day.

4. Finally considering a personal trainer.

5. I sleep better than before.

6. My shoes fit better than before.

7. My face is slimmer.

8. I smile a lot more.

9. I am more conscious about how I look when I leave the house.

10. I have no regrets about the sleeve. Best medical decision I have ever elected to do in my life!!

I'm approaching my 4 week post op as well and I can relate to a lot of the things listed. I really need to improve on my walking. My surgeon released me from all physical restrictions at 6 weeks, so I'm looking forward to joining a gym and maybe even getting a personal trainer. How much progress(weight loss) have you made so far?

Good Luck to you!

Hi.

I recognize your doctors name. He was not my doctor, but I bet we had our surgery at the same Hospital. My surgery was Feb 24th.

I am also 4 weeks out, almost 5. I had lost 34 pounds, but have gained back almost 2 lbs. I think it is a little too early for a plateau, but I have been working out an average of 2 days a week. I got a fitbit and have been tracking my steps. I should probably get a little more active. My calories are always around 700 and my Protein is around 50-70. I am striving for the 60-80. The one place I consistently fail is my Fluid intake. I am not sure if that could be slowing my weight loss or not. ????

yes that can slow things down a bit. you could be holding Water, with the little weight gain. if you can manage to get more fluids in I think that number will change.
