So I was sleeved on Friday, and it is now almost 11pm on Sunday in Sydney. Still in hospital, only complication being that Im finding it hard to swallow water. That said, the protein water has been a life saver!!! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

I was bullied for my size when I was a child and turned to Harry Potter for comfort. One phrase used to describe Hagrid resonated with me - he appeared "simply too big to be allowed". It summed up how my peers made me feel, and how I have continued to feel ever since. I'm now taking a two prong approach to feel better about myself - a sleeve on the 9th to fix the physical, and a psych every fortnight to fix the mental.
