I have to say, that I have the same feelings most of the time. I have lost over a hundred pounds, but I still have more than a couple of hundred to go. I took a picture of myself the day of surgery and a picture the other day as a show of support for Orlando. I can't see the difference between the two. I am losing weight very slowly and I go back for my 6 month checkup on June 20th. I used to keep a food journal, but I stopped one day and I don't know why. I think we all go through body image issues and it is something I have to work on daily. I am so glad that this forum is here for me, because I get so much just reading the comments you all post. Thank you for letting me ramble on like this. You are my lifeline. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I too had second thoughts about my sleeve. The more I read the more I was confused and unsure about making the right decision. I just keep coming back to feeling like if I didn't do this then what. I knew I would keep gaining weight and feeling like I should have taken the chance to be thin and happy.
I had my surgery on December 14th and so far I have felt everything from happiness to sadness . I have read that it is normal to have these feelings at first. I will feel better about my decision once I can really eat normal food.< /p>
But! There is nothing better than seeing the weight come off and your body looking good!! Take a chance on yourself, I don't think u will regret it.
