Ah! Don't listen to your anxiety and embrace your new journey with the SLEEVE! You will do great! Keep reading the posts and do some additional research if you need more info. It is hard in the beginning but does get easier. I promise. ;)

I kinda felt the same. But everyday get easier.. Seriously. It is a learning process. You will have ups and downs. Just try to take it one little day at a time.

I do miss being able to just eat whatever I want. I do not miss feeling horrible because I am so big. I know I will be healthy and live a long life.

So even when I have a bad day (like yesterday) and all I want to do is go grab some fast food and make all my hurt, anger, and anxiety go away. I can't! And I am GLAD that this sleeve keeps me from doing that. Maybe not when I'm in the moment I might cuss about it for awhile. lol But when I get on the scale and keep losing and when I have to get new clothes because my old ones don't fit I know its worth it.

It will get easier. Just learn as much as you can and ask as many questions as you need to. This place is so full of people who really care and are here to help you.. :)

I hear ya! I feel the same way. I can't even say "there are days when..." because it is everyday. In the very begining I really regretted doing it all the time, all day long....but now... it like once a day I reget the surgery because I want to eat the same things that family is having at dinner time. After that, I back to normal remembering why I did it in the first place.

I am much happier now not being classified as morbidly obese, being able to tie my shoes without holding my breathe, and buying clothes in the normal sections instead of the womens department. I take one day at a time. Sometimes I think I could do fat too but then I remember how unhappy I was. I would much rather be angry/depressed for an hour a day about not being able to have all my comfort foods and pigging out than being angry/depressed for being morbidly obese and afraid of an earily grave.

It does get easier. Its a learning process...thats the point of the surgery...to help you make better food choices.
