I share the same emotional roller coaster ride of happy then scared. I'm starting to make my purchase for surgery list based on some of the advice of veteran Sleevers and hope to began collecting things slowly beginning next week. I've discovered some really cool things that was very helpful after surgery during recovery even while still in hospital.

Lioness, this is YOUR time! There's no way in the world that you can continue to give your all to everyone else in your life and continue to deny yourself. YOU'VE GOT TO DO THIS FOR YOU!!! No better time than the present! Shucks, it won't take six months for you too look back...I'm one month out and look at the changes and hear the comments from folks and I absolutely, undoubtedly know that this was one of the best decisions EVER!!!!!

I am so happy for you! I won't get on rides not because of my size but because I get Vertigo, lol

Nonetheless, I'm happy for you and you will be fine! Good luck!

Lioness believe it or not I gave all of me to my family to the point I lost myself. It's like I put off any and everything dealing with me to fulfill the needs of my hubby, our children, my mother, and siblings. Sad to say if you had asked me what made me happy 1 year ago I probably couldn't have told you because my life had been taken care of and pleasing everyone else. If this is truly what YOU want then do this for you. From what I've read on here and my own personal experience this WLS journey is an emotional roller coaster. I won't be sleeved until March but I have times I'm so excited I can't sleep then other times I'm scared worrying about the what if's. I must say even with the emotional roller coaster I feel I've made the best decision in the best interest of me and can't wait for my big day to arrive and I'm sleeved.

Hang in there! There is so much positive energy and support on these boards. I definitely enjoy having the ability to connect with others in various stages of the WLS journey. Best of luck to you and be sure to let us know how your surgery goes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
