Stalled
Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 8 weeks + 3 day out from Bariatric Sleeve surgery. I’m officially a free-range human. There are no limits placed on what I can eat.. aside from what my body can tolerate. Normal day: B: 1 egg, 1 piece of whole wheat…
NSAIDs FTW
Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 6 weeks + 2 day out from Bariatric Sleeve surgery. NSAIDs are glorious.

Ch-ch-ch-changes
Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 3 weeks + 2 days out from Bariatric Sleeve surgery. So far I’ve lost almost 19 lbs. So slightly less than 1 lb a day.. but still respectable. Four of my five incisions have healed cleanly. The last one looked like a…
Progress
