  1. I weigh weekly on Monday mornings... It keeps me trying through the weekend since I know my I'm going to weigh in Monday....
  2. If your looking for people to talk to me through this journey then you came to the right place! I told my family and my two bffs but it’s still nice to have a group of people that are planning on going through, currently going through, or have gone through the same stuff. Now with that being said, the more you read people’s post the more you realize everyone’s experience is different. For instance I see a lot of people who had surgery the same month as me have a hard time drinking water or find it hard to tolerate. I have been super lucky in the sense that the taste of water didn’t change for me. I still love it and I can drink up to 4 big gulps at a time and only have to wait about two minutes in between taking another drink..... so I think on the hydration side it will be easier for someone like me than for someone who has a hard time tolerating water. About the hyperglycemia I would definitely ask your dr. Because that could be a factor in what type of surgery is best for you. I had a million questions just like you and like a lot of people going through this your not alone. My dr. Has a YouTube channel where he answeres tons of questions for normal concerns that sleevers have. I definitely recommend you check it out I watch so many of his YouTube episodes that by the time I went in for surgery I felt super at ease as to what I may or may not expect. You can look him up on you tube under “Ask Dr. A Show” his name is Dr. Alvarez with Endobariatrics. His Q&A’s are awesome. Hope they help!
  3. Lol I love your response! Its true its nobody's business! I hate that people feel because they know you or work with you, you owe them some kind of open door into your personal life. I think your response is perfect.
  4. There are quite a bit of people on here with lower BMI's I started at a 32 and i was so nervous for the same reason. I really though i'm gonna be judged and told i'm just being vain, especially because half of my family felt this was an unnecessary procedure while the other half was supportive. However from the time i got picked up for my surgery, meeting with the other sleevers, being at the hospital not once was i made to feel like i was wrong for choosing to move forward. Everyone was super nice and although i was told i was small by one of the other sleevers they never made it sound like they were judging. The best part was when My Dr. told me he could tell I was going to be petite a year from now! I laughed and told him petite and me have never gone in the same sentence. I had my surgery for the same reason your having yours. I've been a yoyo dieter my whole life losing 20-40lbs then gaining 30-50lbs back. I just wanted the weight gone and to stay gone. You got this, don't second guess your self based off of what others will think.... people will always have something to say about your choices. You have to do what is best for you and if you believe its to move forward then that means its the right choice. I had my surgery in Piedras Negras in MX with Dr. Alvarez Stats: Female 5'6.5 HW:202 SW:197 CW:180 GW:125-135
