shortsleeve got a reaction from SimplySue in I am booked for a gastric sleeve in December. VERY NERVOUS and need a friend
The first week of post op would have been tough without my wife helping me out. The air in my stomach was the worst part. Make sure you do your best to get your shakes in and follow your docs steps. I can tell you it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had my surgery may of 2014 and was 309 pre op. It's been almost 6 months and I'm down to 190. I have had great results but that came with eating right, exercising daily, eating good Protein, and all the other stuff recommended. Stay motivated and enjoy the journey. Great things are soon to come!

shortsleeve got a reaction from Lani789 in What Was Your Final "straw That Broke The Camels Back"
Wow joe! Your list is very similar to mine. Not fitting in a roller coaster really bummed me out. I hated always feeling self conscious. Leaving my two kids without a dad is heartbreaking. I also love sports and miss playing soccer. I had my sleeve may 23rd of this year. I was 309 pounds. I weighed in today at 195. It feels amazing to see the scale start with a "1"!!! I'm taking my family to Disney this year and will be on every coaster:) thanks for sharing!

Great job with the weight loss! It feels so good to have the weight coming off. My surgery date was May 23rd. I was around the 309 mark pre surgery and weighed in at 205 today. I hit exactly 100 pounds on my birthday in September. Down to a size 34 pants! That might be the most exciting part to me haha. Can't wait to see the scale start with a "1"!!!

shortsleeve got a reaction from Displaced Va Girl in feeling like such a failure. I cheated at only 2 weeks post op
Don't beat yourself up! It's a learning process. I had my surgery end of May. I was 309 pounds. Only a few months out and I'm 217 today. I made a few mistakes at first but then did my best to avoid what was bad for me. You can do it. Remember what is only a few months away. I have a much better sex life with my wife. all new clothing and confidence through the roof. It's worth it to stay strong!
