It’s been good. My whole life doesn’t revolve around the sleeve anymore. Less stress, lol. I eat a plant based diet. I don’t count macro or micro nutrients, calories, carbs, etc. complex carbs are my friends. I rarely weigh myself. I’m down to 185 from 266. I have to battle that ridiculous head hunger at times and mindless snacking, but I’m in the safe zone, so to speak. BUT, it won’t last forever so it’s still a work in progress, physically is the easiest, mentally is the hardest. With this short update, overall, I’m very happy I’ve made this decision for myself and finally went through with it.

It's been great. Feeling great too. Went back to work one week post. Had a few sluggish days, but I was good for the most part. I'm eating approx up to 2 Tbsp of food now. Mostly on purée and will start incorporating more this next week. So far so good. I don't regret one bit of my decision to have this. I don't know what I've lost so far, I don't weigh myself at all. I have my first post op appt this coming Wed for all of that. I'll do my best to log back in and update for the real selfers...I'm on another forum way more and sometimes I forget. Sorry about that!!!

Do you work in an office environment? My doctor says I can be off up to 6 weeks. I know everyone is different, I'm just trying to have a plan. Happy to hear you are feeling well.

I can only guess you’ve had your surgery by now and that you’ve got your answer??? Sorry I didn’t respond way back then!!!
I did work in an office (usually by myself) at that time. One week was all I needed.
