Okay, so today is my 2 weeks sleeversary. The first week post-op I felt great... just drinking slow...etc. But shortly after week 1, about 8 days post-op I started feeling pain.. the kind of deep pain like gas pain/stomach cramps, etc.
I had to start taking my pain meds, that I otherwise had not taken since surgery...
My drinking is getting easier - but drinking shakes, etc... still makes my tummy a bit ughh.i am learning *the hard way* when I have drank too much -
I almost ...

Did anyone get sleeved that started out Under 200lbs?
Im at about 180+ and only 5'1".
I have seen nothing but the scales rise - and all the women in my family are obese.. I have struggled all my adult life to try and keep my weight down..
but all I see is it moving up.. just like my gram and great gram.. etc..
Is it wrong for me to want to nip this now?

So, I am doing this with the support of my husband and children - and one of my closest friends. I decided NOT to tell anyone else. They will all know I will be on a weight loss journey, changing my lifestyle, but I have chosen NOT to tell most everyone - to include my mother - I'm afraid (1) she will be judgemental, thinking I am doing this the lazy way and (2) get mad when she can't talk me out of it...

I am embarrassed by my weight - but don't want to be judged for how I help ...
