Hello, sleeve date coming up 4/11/16...need insight! Post op, liquids, where you hungry? Any regrets? I'm nervous now and I'm not usually... anyone think of backing out? Tired of yoyo diets, being the fat mom, buying bloomers and needing a beach towel to shower. I know I can do this but suddenly wonder is this the right thing. Anyone else go through that? Thank you!

Being nervous and having second thoughts are pretty typical, you've got lots of company. Sometimes I think that after all the appointments and testing and anxiety over insurance approval, once that's done, there is nowhere for all that energy to go except into worrying about all the "what if's".

I'll be four weeks postop tomorrow. I eat because I know I need to, but I haven't been hungry once. I had a couple setbacks early on, but I'm doing fine now. No regrets.

If you read many posts here, you'll see that some folks have an easier postop course than others; the thing to remember is that everyone is different. Good luck!

At smom13 I am 4 years post op, have been at my goal weight since one year after my surgery, didn't have it done until I was 58 and my only regret was not doing it sooner! As I think most people will say here. I can tell you that time really and truly does fly and soon you will be a veteran, at goal weight, happy, healthy and cheering someone else on. I kept a blog every Sunday of my first year (and turned it into a book) and when I look back on that time now it seems a bit surreal because now I have been living the life of a normal weight person and this is who I truly always was....sadly I was just trapped inside a fat body most of my life. I suspect you, like most of us will feel so much happier and more free from the life you have now. Rock on and get it done!!!

Thank you for those words! I don't know why I am having doubts because I feel truly unhappy in this body and like everyone else is living life while I hide from it outside of work and must do things for the kids. I'll be there Monday morning and hopefully start to be present for life again. Thank you!
