So, I want to start a thread where everyone can just vent about their surgery. Even if you haven't had it yet.

I'm sure we've all had our fair share of ups and downs throughout this whole journey. Sometimes, it's nice to talk about your frustrations without judgement. And what better place to talk about what you're going through, than with people who also have had similar situations.

So let's start! [emoji4]

Yesss. And my boyfriend is the fastest eater ever so when we eat, I really have to tell myself slow downnnn.

I think all the pros ive read abt really outwiegh the cons.

I know, it seems scary now and I completely get where you're coming from. But, a year or so from now. The transformation will be incredible to have. [emoji4][emoji4]

I have as well. And I've accepted the fact that I will always be technically "overweight" for my height (5'4) but I feel sooooo much healthier now!

Exactly. You name it, I've tried it. And I was skeptical about surgery, but after reading more about it and realizing it was a tool more than an easy way out...I was more motivated than ever.

Im a mom so the complications of surgery always scared me. Thats why i opted for the sleeve..bc it has very little complications. I put it off for long enough and came to a realization that i cant loose all this weight on my own.

Yeah, I've heard that the recovery and complications are very minimal regarding the sleeve. [emoji4]

It's exciting so naturally you want to share it! But I agree, before my surgery I didn't tell many people. But now, I'm proud of how far I came and I tell anyone who asks. It definitely is NOT the easy way out like people think.

But to answer your question, the hardest part was just the adjusting to being around people eating yummy food and not being able to eat it, or enjoy it. I still struggle to eat slow to this day, and let me tell you...I pay the price every time. You'll learn quickly how much you can eat, and you'll know when you've ate too much. It's just the process of adjusting. It's really all mental.

I can't wait to be where you are! I'm a really fast eater so I need to practice eating slow too! I had 4 kids so I had to eat really fast or I didn't eat! But obviously I choked it down! lmao!

My advice is to practice now. Really. I've had countless times where I've ate too fast and ended up eating too much and having everything come right back up. It's not pretty. Lol. But after awhile, you do get into a routine. You can do it! [emoji4]

I saw a utube video of a wl surgeon suggesting his parents use smaller plates and cocktail forks n spoons to help
