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.
