This is a question I think only you all would understand. I will have my sleeve surgery in April. I am currently 275, my goal is 170. My question is for you post-ops. How does it FEEL to be 100 pounds lighter?

Right now, I am so uncomfortable in my body. Can hardly sit comfortable, have to grab my ankle to cross my leg, exhausted after short walks, literally pause after a flight of steps, getting out of a car? Fughitaboutit.

So, for those especially down -50 (my first big milestone) to -100 or more. How does it FEEL?

Can you describe some of these things that I've listed?

I'm really excited and happy and proud of you all.

Thanks!

I'm 5 months post op and down 90.6 pounds. It feels.....well pretty amazing! Honestly I feel like a new person. It did take a while for my mind to catch up with my body, and some days I'm not quite there. However, I just think it's completely changed my life. I have more confidence, I feel more empowered, I feel proud of myself that I've taken back control. I also discovered that running is a great way to deal with the stress in my life instead of eating, which was a huge turning point for me emotionally. Just because you have the surgery doesn't necessarily mean all the reasons you are overweight will disappear. For me, finding a new, healthy way to deal with life was key.

Good luck!!
