Yes it is up to us! Dang it ?? my nutritionist said if I can do 7 weeks liquid diet pre op on my own ( phenomenal) I can do anything. This was my 3rd attempt at weight loss surgery so I was afraid I would wake up in recovery again and be the same me when I woke up. Now that I have the surgery, I have a hard time sometimes especially when I feel depressed but I’m working on it. I went from 610lbs July 1 to 575 August 17,2017 surgery day til now just 460. And I could be more but I haven’t exercised due to 2 herniated disks, bulging disk in my back and my knees are shot! But I’m no longer on my scooter and shop and do things that I could do before. So I know I don’t wanna go back! That’s not an option!

Gastric sleeve. I’m really struggling with it. I wish I lost the taste for anything sweet. I’ve come so far and that’s my biggest fear.

Like the CO2 make me sick and nauseous. I stop drinking sodas July 1st 2017. I have the gastric sleeve August 17th 2017, I tried drinking a ginger ale a couple times but it hurts my chest so I’ve avoided anything with the fizz in it, but I can tolerate sweets from time to time and it doesn’t make me sick. I’m in a support group where I live and some say the sugary candy makes them sick.

Why does the taste of sugar not bother me and I’m 15 months out?
