So Incredibly Disapointed In Myself
I agree with Sramos, what is done is done and all you can do is live and learn from your mistakes. No one will be perfect on this journey, I know I havent! Wishing you the best of luck

I Need To Lose 150-180 Pounds, I Need Your Opinions!
It's a personal choice, and should be up to you, if you dont feel comfortable with RNY, I wouldnt do it. I have seen others on here and other WLS forums who have lost 200+ pounds, even a man who has lost 300 pounds with the sleeve! Sometimes I feel like I will never get to goal, but I know it is doable

Getting Ready
I hope things go fast and smoothly for ya! Some of the appointments I had to wait months for so it held up my process. Also if you havent taken all your measurements make sure you do! I didnt and I regret it.

Things You Can Never Have Again With Sleeve :(
I use a straw with no problems, I'm 10 months post op, I just started using them a few months ago. I haven't tried pop, diet pop pre-op was a big addiction for me so I have not wanted to try it at all! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ugh..
Anyone who thinks getting WLS is the easy way out can kiss my ass! Lol thats all I have to say about that! I have been struggling lately, it really sucks. To me it seems the further out I get the harder it does, I see some people early out saying how hard it is, yes it was hard, but around that time I was so turned off by food, I would forget to eat and had no interest in it at all! I could watch others around me eat yummy foods and not mind at all. Now it seems like lately all I think about is food, I dont know why. I have been eating like crap lately, I want to eat when I am not hungry at all, I know its all head hunger and all that, but its just as hard to say no. No food upsets me, so I can basicly eat anything if I wanted to. I feel like I am so new to all of this even though I have been sleeved for almost 9 months, Im not sure how much to eat at each meal, I try to see how much others are that are the the same ammount of time out and some people are eating 3oz, then I see some saying 5oz, its very confusing, I guess I am just scared about gaining weight back. I've also been very tired lately, I havent had my labs done yet (so I know very bad) I have no insurance, so it will be at least over $1,000, I dont have that kind of money right now, my mom told me she would help me, but I will have to wait for that, I think maybe some of my levels may be off? I dont know, but I am still taking my vitamins on a regular basis. Anyways, I know Im rambleing, I have no one in RL who has gone threw WLS so sometimes its frustrating when no one understands what you are going threw.

Help For The Dreaded Facial Hair?
Oh man I had a horrible wax experience, I bought the professional kit from Sally's and one day wanted to wax my upper lip, Im not sure if I put to much on or what but when I pulled the strip it ended up taking a little layer of skin off by the corner of my lip and it ended up looking like a cold sore for 2 weeks lmao Sent from my iPhone using VST
