Hi, I'm Amy, I'm 48, live in PA and I just had my surgery on monday. I'm looking to talk to anyone that has recently had or is going to have gastric sleeve.

How is the weight loss coming along for you? I feel that loosing 17 lbs in one month should have been more idk if I'm being hard on myself or what

I am 2 weeks post op today and I have a total lost since surgery of 10lbs. Overall loss of 23. I feel like I'm progressing in the right direction.

My sleeve was 2/15, I'm down 18# since surgery. No pain, overall feel pretty good. Yesterday, the weather was nice so I went for a walk, then some light housework, and made dinner for the family. It was then I realized that I had been so busy that I had forgot to drink h20 for several hours, and I felt it. (The pre surgery me would have just drank down 20 oz with a straw in minutes. Not now.) I then spent the rest of the evening sipping water all night.

I need to remember to drink while I'm working, Lifestyle changes post surgery, #learning curve. That's why physically I feel I can go back to work next week, I"m off till April. But mentally I need to stay off. I have short term disability ,so I am lucky, I know some have to return to work sooner. I saved up my vacation time from last year to supplement the STD in preparation for this. At work I'm so busy sometimes I don't drink or eat, I need to retrain myself before going back to work.
