Yup lol I had surgery in June.. I was having food funerals in my head! I was scared of not being able to go out and have fun.. Now I have more fun I look and feel so much better.. Food is not a big deal I won't eat or just take a bite here and there.. Alcohol I know we should wait but I'll have a shot or two.. Life is good..bim glad I didn't back out.. Like I wanted to! 62 pounds down .. And counting.. Don't put off this life changing surgery for fears and concerns you haven't even crossed yet.

My surgery was easier than any other surgery I've had and I had 4 c section and a gall bladder removed. Pain was minimal. I agree with chynadoll- walk and take your pain meds and you will be fine.

You dont want to be in pain.. erm.. I dont know anyone who does want to be in pain.. But its temporary.

You dont want to miss out on stuff socially?

I think you need to take some time and have a think why you are actually doing this. to improve your health etc, is worth the sacrifice of missing a few parties.( In my opinion) You can get back to your usual activity after recovery , eating less etc.

I am 5 weeks out. And happy with my choice. I had some other doubts that yes now I think they were stupid. I was in a lot of pain like screaming crying. But not everyone does get it, id do it all again.

Every surgery or medical procedure (including tooth extractions) has potential risks. However, this surgery has become so safe over the last several years. I think it is normal and healthy to ask yourself questions. For me this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
