Hey Daniel! I was sleeved on 8/2 and I've had a similar experience as you. One thing I've noticed in my experience, is that feeling full doesn't feel the same as before surgery. I have to really pay attention to my stomach when I eat. It seems to be closer to the sternum that I feel a pressure that is my full feeling. Plus, it is VERY important to eat slow. Our bodies, even before surgery, take time to register that they are full. If we eat too fast, we will likely eat too much before the sensation hits. At least that's my experience. And I'll second what dreamingsmall said. It really does make a huge difference. Hope this helps build up your confidence.

I understand completely. I felt exactly the same as you. Even thinking I can still lose the weight with out surgery. But I'm glad I went through with it. Tomorrow will be a month since surgery. What helped me was having my dad there in the preop room, and just shooting the breeze. Took my mind off the needles and fear. Just my experience. Hang in there and keep thinking about the results. It makes it so worthwhile.

I'm right there with you. I saw my primary doctor 1 week after surgery and he took me off one of the blood pressure meds and a diabetes med. It feels great when you start seeing results and that motivates you even more! Even though its only been 4 weeks tomorrow, I already feel a difference in my knees and feet.

Hang in there buddy you'll do fine. Remember too, that these doctors do so many of these surgeries it's almost routine.

Since deciding to have this surgery,July 11th,I have read and watched on YouTube a lot of people saying they're 20-30lbs from their goal weight. I have a goal weight too,I'll have to wait and see what happens. But a part of me is now questioning this desire to achieve goal weight and whether not to just to accept the weight lost already and be happy with the way we look,bloody good I'm sure and love your body.
I remember when I used to weigh 140lbs and being unhappy with myself,I look back now and think 'you lucky thing why didn't you just accept and be happy with your body?'
I know this doesn't answer your question,but this is just a thought. You don't seem to be consuming many calories either. Good Luck and I hope you get to where you want to be x

Hi everyone!
Been trying to get this done for over a year and a half, but the insurance companies are sharks! But they finally approved it. Hooray!
I'm kinda scared about the surgery, but am really looking forward to getting healthy.
I've been lurking around here for awhile and really enjoy the atmosphere. Thanks for taking the time to read my story!
