I was sleeved May 6th prior to the surgery, I was all for it and sure this is exactly what I wanted but now that it's done, I think I may have made a bad choice. This is so hard, I feel very sad and I have no energy at all. I want to feel normal again and the way things are going, doesn't feel like I'll ever be there. I know now that there is nothing I can do, I can't change time I just need to get through this but its hard, i mean i knew it wasn't going to be easy but i guess i didn't expect this. A friend of mine had it a few wks before me and she is so happy amd energetic. I hope I get to that phase soon. I don't want to regret my decision, I just want to be happy again.

Not trying 2 be funny but ppl say its gonna get better and hold on ,soon as some1 post something negative its a big problem I think we should be interested in the good and the bad & not bash the bad goodluck 2 all

I want to connect with someone going thru the same problems and hope that I will feel normal.

Hello all

I see you are all getting ready or just had the surgery. Wanted to share my story to ease fears and return the favor of how this site helped me. I am now 46 and had my sleeve done in 8/10 at that time I was about 400 pounds 54 waist 5 xl shirt. I decided it was time for many reasons including health. I did all the hoops and jumps required before surgery as you all are. Big difference I wanted to quit something 3 months prior that was near and dear to me which was soda to see if I could do it and to prove this was for life. July 2010 was my last soda and still haven't touched one. I do recommend getting different types of post surgery shakes I had banana and to this day will not even smell one. Dumping get used to it I'm by far not a diet super model freak but won't eat pork or beef and ANYTHING greasy. My worse enemies. I stick to a decent diet that has nothing bad in it. Well here I am today weighing 220 pounds w a waist of 36 and shirt l-xl area. Bottom line put your heart and soul into this and one day you can help like I hope I did. The one thing I had a lot of issues with was severe dehydration so if married make a commitment to a Water bottle at all times touching that ring. I mean all day long constant water. I like crystal light myself as well. I did lose 150 the first year and have since lost the rest and have leveled off now. I do hope this inspires and eases some worries. I will check in on this thread to answer any questions. I can go on all day about my new found happiness. Now I'm headed out to Breakfast and sit in the booth without fear of not fitting. Been married 19 years before telling my wife no booth I like tables because of it. Bet someone can relate. Good day all from San Jose ca

My surgery was may 7th I felt the same way and found out I had low potassium, ever since getting that fixed I feel much better! Good luck
