Mine was when I had to have a CPAP machine to help me sleep. I was falling asleep all the time, in 5 minute car rides, in the movies, in the middle of the museum in the planetarium. I also saw the pictures of myself with my little cousins and wanting to play with them but not having the energy. I want kids, it’s been my life dream and I don’t want to be someone who pushes my problems on them. Plus two of my aunts had this surgery and I saw the differences in their attitudes, energy, confidence, etc.

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on October 2nd and I was held in the hospital for three days because I couldn’t keep anything down. The pain I felt from throwing up or trying to digest the liquids hurt so bad but it was only about two times I had to ask them for something stronger. The discomfort lasted longer, just because I was sore and tender and I’m a side sleeper so trying to find a comfortable spot was a pain (my ass hurt from sleeping elevated ?). I consider myself a wimp, I get nervous about experiencing pain but when it actually happens I find myself thinking it should hurt more than it actually does
