    My surgery is tomorrow May 4th and I am a bit nervous but ready to get it done. I know it will be the best thing for me. You will be just fine.

    How are you feeling now? How was your surgery?

    Preop feelings like this are very, very, VERY common. Have a look over the boards and you'll see.

    I don't know who told you you wouldn't enjoy food again after surgery. I am 7.5 weeks out and in every stage of my postop phases, I've found that I enjoyed some foods more than others, but I've always had foods that I enjoyed eating. The lovely thing is that I'm satisfied with so much less now!

    Everyone experiences pain differently. Mine wasn't bad at all. The worse part was my larger incision for for the first four days or so. I never took anything stronger than plain Tylenol once I got home from the hospital.

    Probably the best response to a post like this I've seen was one that reminded the poster that the decision to have surgery was made when they weren't in a full-on preop meltdown. You decided to have this surgery for sound reasons. Those reasons still exist. They're still true. The only thing that has changed is your perspective.

    Miserable? Is there anything more miserable than facing the rest of your life obese? Yes, you may feel less than great for a couple weeks. Not everyone does. A healthier rest of your life is the reward.

    I don't know what else to do, my weight keeps going up regardless of working out daily and counting calories. My insurance doesn't cover WLS so we're thinking going to Mexico.

    Has anyone with pcos and constant weight gains has success with the sleeve?

    Are you reaching your Protein goals and drinking at least 60oz of Water a day? I have to have 72g of Protein everyday (based on height I'm 5'8) and most days I reach 90g of protein and have been doing this for the year. I have been waiting 2 years for the surgery (in Canada) and lots of Water is very important. Follow other wls people on instagram and they all drink over 100oz of water in a day and are successful. I think I have pcos also but only self diagnosed cause I didn't know what it was until recently. If your working out and gaining weight you could be building muscle resulting in gains, just try walking and cardio.
