Highs:
Nesting is fun
Love to Buy things, clothes, strollers, Car seats, etc
Choosing Baby Names
Being Profiled - Its so awesome to get a call to hear about a baby/mom
Lows:
Bad News at Work about your lack of FMLA
( yeah I have none - making going out of work not good or easy )
Not being Picked/ waiting to be picked ( its hard but you have to stay positive )

6/7 Weeks Post OP !
Well I have been very busy with work, school etc..... so I apologize this is late/early depending on the week you interpret this from.
Weeks 6/7 haven't been that different. I at about the same place. Down 45 pounds. I'm "stuck" I guess. Which is an ok thing, since I was just cleared for all types of exercise on 6/29/2012. So once I become more physically fit, I will start to eat more and the weight will come off more.
I had my follow up appt on 6/29/2012.
I am down 16% my excess body weight.
My BP is significantly lower ( reading are 117/79, 119/81 ) Vs the old me 45 pounds ago was easily 145/94 or 156/92 and that was with BP meds.
My Kidney Dr has decided to take me off my BP meds !! ( Very Cool )
Since I have been on them since I was pregnant last year ( 3/2011 )
So I am off Diovan, & Labatelol
I have developed a touch of acid reflux/heartburn issues, but this is a normal Sleeve side effect. Also the Dr's state that my pouch could still be swollen. So I am on generic Prilosec ( omeprazole ) but if that is the worse that will come of this so be it. The pills are like wonder drugs, as long as I take them I feel fine.
Since I have been cleared for exercise I bought a Bike. An Old Lady bike from Bert's ( its purple and called a Townie ) I feel old !!! but I like it, now I just need to find time to ride it.
