Some of my unexpected changes: 1. I'm cold all the time. 2. I feel disoriented in my new body (almost like my old brain was transplanted into someone else's body). 3. I do think shopping has replaced eating as my go-to self-soother. It's a habit I need to break. 4. It's amazing how much more respectful and kind health care professionals are to me now that I am normal weight. It's like all of a sudden, I am a regular person who deserves medical care. Crazy. 5. I get catcalls and random men hit on me from time to time. Rather than making me feel pretty, it makes me uncomfortable. I think that's it!

Not as far out as some of you but yes there are issues - For me 1. Definably Drink more now - 2. Very Thin and bump stuff and it dang hurts 3. Became more isolated since happy hour and food bashes are a thing of the past But I agree love the new me for sure! Would do it again

Not yet, my surgery is 12/22 and I’m having the sleeve!

Fingers crossed for you!!!

December 15th! Gastric Sleeve Surgery , i've been waiting for 2 years now!😄

I am December 15th also! Best of luck to you

I hit my goal weight in May - 20 months post op. 100% of my excess weight is gone and I've now maintained for 6 months. Still a daily struggle to ensure I stay on track to stay at goal. But very happy with where I am!

Yes you'll be able to feel "full" quite quickly once on solids. But even then, don't wait for the full signal, keep your food quantity within 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup as prescribed by your nutritionist.

I am officially at the lowest weight of my adult life as of this morning! I've got a bit to go to get to goal but I wanted to celebrate this win! 🎉
