I just realized that my sleeve journey has been a bit like having a baby. My planning and preparations literally took 9 and 1/2 months. During this surgical "gestation" time, I had hopes , fantasies , fears and worries about how my life was going to change. I felt similarly before I had my daughter.
I recall the day before she was born, a sense of panic set in. I feared that I wasn't prepared enough for the changes to come and what if I'm a failure? As I went into the

My Top Ten list for my first month sleeved:
#10): The difference between weeks 3 and 4 are incredible. Week 3 still had some gas and incisional "pinches and twitches". At 4 weeks - almost nothing.
#9): Glad I waited 4 weeks to go back to work since they frown on nap-time. I really enjoyed to my 3 pm snoozes.
#8): Eating is minimally interesting. Seriously- I can take it or leave it. My Fitness Pal keeps me honest.
#7): I am starting to understand "eat

In my first 7 days being sleeved, the top 10 things I have learned :
1) In the world of competitive sleeping, I am a Gold Medalist. I can (& do) nap anytime, anywhere.
2) I am hanging up my stethoscope. My new fulltime job is to "sip, sip, sip". Staying hydrated is hard work.
3) The sounds coming from my new stomach are not lady like.
4) I am no longer a bashful burper.
5) Daytime TV sucks.
6) Not every belly twinge is a potential leak.
