Ugh I was sooo good until I was okay’d for breads, pastas, rice and alcohol. Then I got super social so I started drinking wine and whiskey whenever I’d go out. I also still munch out on some carbs every now and then.

Also whoever said peanut butter! I agree it’s addicting!!

I’m a little over a year out and I still can’t stomach them. I have to have something already in my tummy to keep them down

I definitely understand this. I've been telling pretty much everyone in my inner circle that I am going through with surgery, even updating my Facebook with my current weight loss progress, and it seems like I've got a good amount of outside support!

My main concern is I drink like a fish (not alcohol, but Water, for instance) and it seems like I won't be able to chug Water like I am able to now. I think I can handle the food, though. I've been replacing 1-2 of my meals a day with a Protein Shake as of recently and its not terrible!

I am happy to hear that you feel that way. I honestly think its the best choice for people who struggle with their health and losing any weight at all is a step in the right direction to a longer, healthier life.

I’m not sure if it’s different for other people but I still can’t chug water. I miss it so much lol

Hi y’all I’m a year and three month post op and I go through phases of dang I wish I knew that.

I wish I had prepped myself more first coming out. (Had a shitty recovery lol) I would have given myself a better support system, instead of trying to do it alone.

I wish I had more mental preparation because it is a huge lifestyle change. Even a year out I struggle with all the changes and how different my life is.

Im extremely happy with the decision to get the sleeve. I’d definitely encourage anyone struggling like I was to do the same. It’s a journey and it’s not always easy, but it really is amazing and worth it.
