Your right. I just need to change what I am excited about...
Haha this reminds me of a quote I once saw that read...
"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
I unfortunately have been chubby my whole life so Ive never felt that feeling.
But I am so ready to feel comfortable in my own skin.
You've put it in perspective for me...

Trying food isn't eating the whole 9 courses. But having said that - food isn't the goal to going to Europe is it? I thought it was about the experience. Like seeing monuments, art galleries, museums, mountains, shopping, hiking, etc. Where are you going? Get excited about the places.

So I joined this Bariatric Pals Community thinking that it would be awesome to talk and fellow people that are going through the same thing as me. But for some reason I find it hard to join in on the conversations. I feel like I’m butting in on other peoples conversations. Like who’s this newbie trying to talk to us? Does anyone else feel that way? Or is it just me? Because Im definitely not that way in person. I’m always talking to everyone around me no matter who it is. But for some reason I feel differently on this.

I like hearing the good, bad and the ugly. Want to have a very good idea of what to expect.

Have you travelled with your new sleeve?
Do you ever feel like your missing out because of it ie holidays/events?
Does Water intake get easier? I am terrified of not being able to get in enough water and that I will become weak and dehydrated.
Recovery? The good bad the ugly?
Bowel movements? Different than they used to be?

Just starting my insurance process. Congratulations on your success. This community is amazing and I love seeing the success, honesty and positive things everyone has to say 💜

Thank you all! I really needed this. I’m counting down the hours till I start my new journey

Best decision ever made. It both dramatically changes your life and also doesn’t - well at least for me.

Changes- portion sizes and frequency of eating - being mindful of what and how often- Protein based focus ,... increased hydration goals .

Awesome energy and self confidence.

For me there wasn’t a downside— really great and fast recovery .

Only “downside” which I don’t consider a downside but instead a new lifestyle .... is going out you need to make really smart choices but that’s part of the learning and awesome lifestyle you learn to become

Self confidence gained is worth it 100 times over

I feel the same way and everyone is friendly and respectful. I think we're like minded people with two common goals, a healthier life with a body to match[emoji4]. I had a bowel movement right before the surgery but none thus far. My doctor prescribed Miralax so I'll give that a try tomorrow. I wish you much success when you're sleeved.
