Oh goodies, another Sleever for me to run to when I have questions.
How have those 56 days been for you? Steady slide down, upandown, good days and bad, all good, what? I'm on day 6 post op, so I'm always asking "What's it like for YOU?"
Take care and thank you SOOOO much for posting. Every time someone who I can relate to posts I feel better.

Tracey,
Feel free to ask anything you want :-)
I think I've had it very easy in terms of recovery. I had surgery on a Tuesday and drove my sister to the airport on Friday morning. I took 2 weeks off from work and was glad cuz it allowed me the opportunity to walk and sleep, by the end of week 2, I walked about 9 miles one afternoon.
I started running about week 5 (Couch to 5K)
I get worried the week before my period starts that there isn't enough restriction and that I'm not gonna be able to do this :-)
Been trying to stay < 800 calories, > 70g protein, < 40g carbs ... I know that carbs slow weight loss for me and make me hungrier. I drink enough fluids that I barely make it through an hour without a trip to the restroom (I think my bladder got reduced with my stomach)
I lost 9lbs pre-op (day of consult to day of surgery, i'm self pay) , but I took almost 4 weeks to do that. My weeks have been all over the place, even though I think I've been fairly consistent, only start food logging in the last few weeks. I only weigh myself on Mondays (so I really don't know what happens to my weight in between Mondays)
Week 1: 7.6
Week 2: 2
Week 3: 1.2
Week 4: 4.8
Week 5: 0.8
Week 6: 2.8
Week 7: 1.2
Week 8: 4.6
