Glad to hear all positive outcomes) I too am having a sleeve on 31 Oct so have all these questions popping
into my head.....98% stories are happy thank the lord!!
When lying in my hospital bed in recovery and in pain and discomfort, this was my first surgery, I asked WTF did I do to myself then I realized that I did this for my health and my family and remembered all the great transformation stories on here and elsewhere and decided that it was worth a little pain.
Then at the first stall I was wondering what all this effort was for. Then I kept doing my measurements and realized I was smaller even if my scale wasn't participating and remembered all of the stories here where people talk about the 3 week stall and realized that hey I'm just going through what everyone else does and they all seemed to get through it and decided to just keep going and no surprise I got through that stall and afew others since, actually going through one now, but I know this too shall pass and keeping positive.
Now I'm 9 months out, 95lbs down, down to L size shirts and too small for all my old suits, even that old one I got when I was 26 and in great shape (So I thought) I still have 30lbs to go but I know that I may not get there by my Sleeve-aversary but I will get there.
I've had doubts but I've regained my health, look better than I ever have and am more confident that a healthy fit lifestyle is my future. I only wished I had done it 10 years earlier.
I would say now. About 4 wks post op today. Feeling like I don't now how much longer I can suck down shakes and watered soup. When I try to eat anything it hurts. Sometimes I guess I even feel a but depressed wondering if I made the right choice. I am sick of what I have to eat if that makes any sense at all.
Oh yes, the first 5 to 6 weeks. I cried every day. But now I couldn't bee happier. I feel normal again, I can eat anything I want but I chose not to because I don't want to regain the weight back. I wanna be 120 pounds forever. I feel great and would do it all again!
Yes, I did.. Day 3 post op when I passed out and was violently ill ALL day long. But since then, have had nothing but positive thoughts about what I did
