Thanks for y'all's responses so far. Really informative. It's all a learning process I suppose.

Sleeved 12/29. I almost cried before going to a movie on day 3 post op sitting in the movies restaurant with pizza, cheeseburgers, popcorn etc all around. I was questioning what I'd done to myself and wishing my stomach was still normal.
I wish the smell made me nauseous, the sight and smell are appetizing to me it's like blood to a vampire. It's everywhere too.
And yet, no regrets. It's gotten better by day 5. I'm happy stepping on the scale every morning and seeing weight slide off.
I don't want anyone else burdened by what I'm going through. I've told my parents they are free to eat in front of me and carry on as usual and not feel sorry for me.
And I've also felt - this is not an overnight process by any means, it takes patience, commitment, and determination. All things I'm working on!

I am so excited! After months of fighting with the insurance company, I got an email from my surgeon saying he has been approved. Now we just need to figure out when (work wise) we can schedule.

I had my gastric sleeve done January 11th. I weighed 333.1lbs.
I'm 10 months post op now and weigh 144.2lbs.
I've set new goal weights as I've gone along...first was just to get under 200lbs, then I thought I wanted my goal weight to be 180lbs. When I got there, I made the crazy goal of 150lbs never thinking I'd make it....but I did. So then I figured my goal would be 145lbs which puts me at a normal bmi...which I haven't been since I was around 10.
Now that I weight 144lbs, I've decided my final goal will 133lbs, which will mean I will have lost a total of 200lbs....and I'll do it, I know I can.
I never thought when I had surgery that weighing in the 130's would even be possible.
I've gone from wearing sizes 5-6x, and 28-30, now I wear smalls and mediums and am a size 8....I would be around a 6 if it wasn't for the large amount of skin I have around my stomach and thighs....but it's a price I'm more than happy to pay.
I've been extremely disciplined this whole 10 months. I can honestly say I've never put a bad food in my mouth...not once. I follow a very low carb diet still, drink about 85oz of Water every day and get in around 80oz of Protein. I take all my required Vitamins daily.
The gym has become a big part of my life. I workout around 5-6 days per week doing a variety of exercising....spin class, step  class, yoga, cardio machines....I like doing different things so I don't get bored.
Anyway, because I'm so close to goal, I just wanted to share this. And for the people who have a lot of weight to lose like I did....remember, you can do this! I'm living proof!!

I had nausea in the hospital and wish someone told me about peppermint tea or just smelling peppermint essential oil. When I got home I still felt the nausea all the time but once I found out about this I was much better. I actually bought a nausea blend that was sold at the hospital store about 2 weeks after post op. Good luck. Hope it gets better for you.

Best of luck!

Nice ritual ya got there! I've decided to keep some select fancy dresses and alter them to my goal size later on once I make it. Gonna donate a bunch as well!

I've seen all of My 600 Lb life. I like it because it tells their people's stories! It was interesting to reference while going through the weight loss surgery process starting from my HW of 300.
