Officially in size 14! On my recent plane trip had about 5 extra inches on the seatbelt! Today at annual gyno appointment: Physician Assistant: any medical updates or recent surgery? me: yes I had the sleeve in July PA: pause. What's that? Me: weight loss surgery PA: oh, how is that going for you? Me: great, down about 60 pounds since July PA: omg, when you said you had WLS I was wondering why the heck you would do that ...you don't need it but that's amazing That felt awesome! To have someone I never met not realize I could have even needed it was a great feeling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Took me about a week to feel ok on my side. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

As of today, I am no longer obese! I know the BMI scale is not the end all and be all and is a bit sketchy but it is still milestone and I could not be happier. Have been bit down in the dumps so this came at a great time for me.

I was woefully unprepared for the emotional aspect of this journey. Gets better every day but I still have my moments! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The best advice I can give is to stay off the scale. It is difficult but only when I stopped weighing daily did I find peace. I would get so frustrated on a day to day basis and it would significantly impact my mood. Try weekly or even less frequently. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will get better. I just tried to sleep as much as possible first few days which made the roughest days go by faster. Keep clicking the pain button and rest! Best of luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

There was a recent thread in this you should look for with lots of responses. Most have no regrets but there are definitely some out there that would not do it again and they explain why which is important to hear. I personally am thrilled with my decision Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am traveling for business now for two months. I have an apartment with a kitchen but eat out maybe once a week with work colleagues. The waiter always asking if I didn't like my food annoys the hell out of me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For me, it was definitely harder than I had planned for. Things do get much better day by day. The benefits I see now far outweigh the struggles I had the first month or so. Yesterday I was sightseeing on a trip to Dublin and walked 22k steps! Would have keeled over before surgery! Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Full feels much worse for me now. I still eat too fast and one bite too many and I am seriously uncomfortable for at least an hour. Thankfully I have yet to barf. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats! I remember what a greAt feeling that day was! Best wishes for a speedy recovery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I happened to stumble across this post today. What a difference two months makes!!! food is still blah but I am in a much better place mentally and have made so much progress. Easily getting Protein and Water in daily and energy has returned to normal levels. I still have my moments of frustration but this is the best thing I have ever done for myself! For those just beginning this journey, it is difficult but does get better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
