luv2eat

I remember being 2 days into my preop diet and crying to my husband and thinking and saying I couldn't do it. My husband said then don't. I remember thinking ok then don't. I knew I could give up again on myself. But I didn't give up and the next day was better and then the preop diet was over. Surgery day was scary but then it was over. Bandster hell sucked but then it was over. I am going on 4 years this summer. I wear a size 6. People refer to me as thin, tiny, small. I promise this is worth it. Good luck and stay strong.

It sucks! There is no other way to say it but it comes and goes. I hit the wall at day 2. I cried to my husband that I was not strong enough to do it. That was 3 years ago already and it was worth the 2 weeks of hell for what I have now. It is a distance memory. Stay strong. I promise you it is worth it!

I would be frustrated too but do not give up. Just like the 2 week pre op diet it sucks but it is what you have to do to get the surgery. Do what they say and do not give up on yourself. I believe in you!

As others have said it gets better and what you and your mom went through sucks but man, what you are doing is so worth it. You are going to feel so great and you will eat those things again just way less. As a mom I can tell you, your mom is so proud of you even though it is an adjustment for everyone. Stay strong and know it is going to be great!

This is a huge change for everyone in your life but of course mostly for you. I think you are hungry and haven't eaten and I know that makes me crabby! Plus you are sore and trying to wrap your mind around all of this. I would ask for everyone to cut you a little slack BUT if you do start feeling dark and sad, talk to your surgeon. I am so glad I had this surgery but that does not mean in the beginning I did not regret it and maybe need to just get my head around it. Thats maybe what you are going through and your family just wants you to be happy and positive. Stay strong! And do not be afraid to ask for patience/space/help if you need it.

I love this! Before I lost weight, I would read things like these and think how nice would that be. I still get a little choked up when these things happen to me.
Wearing regular sizes! The first time I put on a size 10 I had to sit down in the dressing room because I was so overwhelmed. And this was after I tried on the 16, then the 14, then the 12 and finally the 10!
Definitely seeing and feeling bones! who knew they were there!
Seeing before pictures and seeing a HUGE difference!
Running with my kids and not being out of breath.
not even worrying that I will need the seatbelt extender on a plane.
Good luck to everyone! Its the best feeling to finally feel good and everyone is capable!!!!!

My husband is supportive but there is times when I wonder if he deep down has reservations. I have lost almost half of my size. I feel different to him. Overall he loves the new me but sometimes he will comment about liking the old me too. I do get scared but I am happy with the new me.
