They keep saying what if you dont lose etc.... I am reaching out friends for support and encouragement from you guys that I am doing the right thing and I am going to love it. and everything is going to be fine and Im going to look great (smile) Fear move out of my way :-)... I also which I could eat my favorite meal before tomorrow which is pizza....Hmmmmm did any one do that? Truth be told Im afraid of the new life Im about to enter wonder will I be able to adjust, handle it and love....

It is a natural reaction to be apprehensive before any surgery. All of the doubts you posted seem like they are due to lack of support from the people around you. The question to ask is are you ready for permanent change? If this is something that you decide is right for you, then put those other fears to rest and know that we are here to help.

Bless your heart! It's gonna be okay. I think that is why I'm not telling anyone. I just don't need the added stress. I know it's the right choice for me and that's that. Stand your ground.I kinda worry about the separation thing too. Is that common? I honestly don't think it's going to be like that. The way I see it, if you are a volume eater and it only takes a small amount of food to give you the same satisfaction that there really won't be any separation. Good luck! :D

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
