Take a deep breath! Think of the positive things that you will be able to do after weight loss. Write a list of things you want to do! Distract yourself - walk, color, read, clean, etc. You have this - don't worry!

Thank you i need this encouragement. Someone at work just said something negative and it pissed me off. The reason I have decided to keep it to myself

Don't pay attention to them!

There are lots of nice supportive people on here. Ignore the rest. They arent on here for the right reasons!

Try to take some time out for you prior to surgery just to mentally and visually prep yourself. You will be ok. I was scared, nervous too....all the way up until surgery day. I even layed in the bed as they prepped me thinking "is this really what I want???, I wonder if I can jump off this bed and change my mind!!!" then I woke up with a sleeve. Went through a few days of pure regret, but during that time I noticed how bad my relationship with food is and that it could eventually cause me bad health. As of right now, I cant wait to live in my body, comfortably!!! I can't wait to feel good about myself instead of feeling like im being stared at in disgust (my own personal experience).

Im still going through it 6 days post-op but I do believe I made the right decision. Plus I saw the scale go down quite a bit and I feel good about that. Its given me the encouragement that I need to go further and to believe in myself.

Go to the "Before and After" pics post. Works wonders for me every time I start having 2nd thoughts!

Thank you I needed this. Because I often question myself. Asking do I really want to go through with this. Thanks
