Hello everyone,

I had my sleeve on May 9th 2016. While at times I have felt like it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Other times it hasn't been that great. I feel good at times and other times not so great. I still do know this was and still is the best thing I coukd have done for my health I only hope that soon I can deal with my new normal and be able to part with the old normal.

Hello

I had my sleeve on the 11th May and have those feelings as well. But mostly I feel energised and motivated. I think my not so great times stem from still being on liquids, I never thought I'd be excited to eat puréed food.

I'm still certain that this was right for me and I'm excited to start learning about food again.

Completely normal feelings. Give it some time. I felt the same way for probably 3 months but then the weight loss picked up, the nausea went away and I am SO thrilled! I will be 1 year post-op on Saturday and I am down 120 pounds since surgery and a total of 145 pounds. Diabetes is gone. Off cholesterol meds. Can do so much more than I could have before! Worth every second! But I promise you I didn't feel that way in the beginning. Just know you are among friends and you can come here and vent. You will be amazed when you look back at this in a few months!

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Congratulations on your success!!! That definitely gives me hope.

@@LolaSerena - I'm glad it helped! And thanks! I was just telling someone else how shocked I am that it has all added up and here I am at goal at 1 year post-op. Never thought it would happen! But boy you should see some of my posts from the first few months! Just couldn't get past the "what have I done?!" stage. I am well past that now.

Thank you Angela. It's good to know others feel the same way.

Oh Daisee: I am excited to see where the journey takes me. Some days are easier than others.
