33yr Old Going to MX For Sleeve....Scared out of my Mind!! Mexico, MX

Alright, so I'm almost 7 weeks post surgery. From my HW, I am down 34lbs, from my SW only 24lbs. To me that doesn't seem to be a lot, considering that I've seen others loose 30lbs + in the first month. BUT....the amount of inches I have lost is just crazy!!! So it proves, that even though the scale is moving slow, the weight is coming off and is noticeable. I went from a size 18W/20 to a comfortable 14. With the way my thighs are built, that in itself is a miracle to me. lol
I feel good and have no real issues. My scars are healing well, even though I had an allergic reaction to the bandages I used once I made it home.
My only gripe, which is with myself, is the whole slowing down while eating. I haven't quite mastered that and boy the pain that comes with shoving stuff in to fast is horrible. It's like it gets stuck in my esophagus and wont move. So I almost feel like I'm choking. You would think, 7 weeks in I would learn that lesson. But sometimes when I'm eating my favorite food, I forget. But it sure does remind me that I can't do what I use to.

The gas bubble won't let me be great!! Lol But I feel good, nothing really hurts except for the gas bubbles I get. I tried eating a bowl of broth and couldn't even get down half of it. But that Popsicle, it was gone in a matter of seconds! Haha Tomorrow I'm traveling home and can't wait to be back in my own bed.

So happy for you that you are not in pain. The gas apparently is more manageable if you do some walking and/or take Gas X......soooo I've heard. Not sleeved yet so I don't know for sure. ;) Congratulations on the beginning of your new journey. Soooo happy for you! Keep us posted on how you're doing. Safe travels home tomorrow. :)
How are you doing? I hope all is well.
I'm doing great! Thanks for asking!
