My BMI is currently 50.2, and I am getting a gastric sleeve this summer. After years of yo-yo dieting, I feel this is the only option I have left, though it kinda leaves me feeling defeated by my own lack of willpower. The whole thing leaves me with some questions. Forgive me if they'd been answered time and time again in this forum.
- How was the recovery?
- What has your weight loss been like so far?
- Do you feel satisfied after eating, or do you still have the compulsion to stuff as much in as possible?
- Do you regret getting it or has it been a generally good experience?
I hear there is a "food mourning" stage for some people, and I think that might be the hardest peak to summit, my whole life has been centered around food- every vacation I have taken has been focused on what I could eat when I got to where I was going- I think that refocusing my priorities might be the hardest part.
Some days I can't wait to get it done and over-with, but then I think about how I'll never again get to wolf down a whole plate of Phat-Thai, and I kinda feel sad.
