After gastric sleeve, when do you feel new normal? Not focused on aches and pains but saying I go thru that, and now my healthy choices will take over?

Is new normal. 3, 5, 8 one year out?

Nothing happens over night. It's taking this day by day and learning your program. Once you are consistent with your program, living like this becomes normal.

I feel pretty normal at 8 weeks out.

That entirely depends on the person.

Thanks Rnm!

Mrs LittleBill says I will never be normal, but as far as feeling that way, I have been feeling pretty good for the past month, and I am about two and a half months out from surgery. Life is all about changes. Some are more abrupt than others. This is one I had time to prepare for, so it is going well. Ninety per cent of this is mindset.

I felt "normal" 4-5 days afterwards but as I lost weight things started to change. My back hurt from posture changes, it turns out I'm a hunchback. My posture changing means that my old, strong muscles aren't used like they were and I need to develop new muscle.

My changes are all for the good but I haven't felt "normal since week 2-3.

At six months I think I'm understanding what my normal is. I was lucky and had an easy surgery, easy recovery, but mentally I didn't actually begin to accept my new self until recently.
