Tomorrow is my surgery day. I'm feeling pretty anxious after reading a lot of posts from people struggling with nausea months after the surgery. That is discouraging because I want a good quality of life. I think the sleeve is the right thing for me to do--but it seems like a taking a huge risk and it's one of the hardest decisions I've ever made, because I know I can't undo it once it's done. I'm scared that something will go wrong and that I will have trouble eating enough healthy foods to get the nutrition I need.

I use to think the same thing... but I also know the larger a person is the more food they need to keep at the same level. The smaller a person the smaller amount. So I had mine done almost 5 weeks ago with no pain at all and have lost 54 lbs including pre-op diet. I am taking vitamins daily, and I am told it takes 6 months or more to get to a more normal state. So I have 5 months to chill out and enjoy the great weight loss, yes I don't get to eat very much until full, however, I am trying everything and I can still eat just about anything - the thicker the meat the harder it is for chew time.
