Hello everyone! I have been reading posts on here for the last couple of days, and I am soooo thankful to see that many others are going through some of the same stuff I am! I even recognize of a couple of you from you tube as well! I must have watched like a thousand videos before my surgery!!

I am 11 days out and feeling pretty good, but still adjusting to how little food I can actually consume; 1-2 oz. max. I find it incredibly difficult to get in my Protein, but I am having no trouble getting in my fluids. In fact, I would just drink Water all day if I could! I have pretty much been heavy my whole life, and pre-surgery, I was at my top weight of 248 for the second time in my life - only this time I decided to make a permanent change, and I can't believe I actually did it!!!

I am a 33 year old wife, mother of three, graduate student, and professional, who wants to be the healthiest me that I can be!! I am soooo excited for what my future holds!

Good luck everyone! I look forward to sharing in this journey with you!

Congrats, I just began my journey...I too want to live a healthier life and been struggling all my adult life with my weight and being diabetic. My surgeon says I wont have diabetes after the surgery. I am not full diabetic, I dont take medicine yet, and he says I wont have to...So I think this is the best option for me.

Congrats I did it! Good luck to you cheryld

I was on shots daily and I'm off them now. I was sleeved 18 days ago.
