No More Regrets!!
Dec 29, 2011
So here I am 4 months post op and loving my new body! The first few weeks were incredibly hard and it seemed like I wouldnt make it through. I feel so much better, there are still some things my new stomach cant tolerate but for the most part I am eating like a "normal" person. Funny that ony recently have I been able to actually see my progress, while other people around me were in awe of my weight loss, I still saw the same 245 pound girl. I still sometimes forget that I no longer have to shop in the PLUS department for a size 20... I'm a FABULOUS size 12 and loving it. I still have some work to do... I havent set foot in a gym since my surgery SHHHH!!! The weight has been just falling off, I finally leveled off about a month ago. I certainly did not anticipate it happening so fast, 72 lbs in 3 months! Im so very happy I did this, and the regret is most definitely GONE! Looking forward to my first size 12 summer :)

What the heck have I done?!
Jul 27, 2011
So I was sleeved one week ago today. My hospital experience was great; the surgery went well and I had all fantastic nurses. My one gripe, I was sent home after only 1 night, perhaps i'm disillusioned but one would imagine that after having a large portion of a major organ ripped from your body would constitute a little more TLC before being kicked out. I mean, i got more time for having a baby, and i've done that 4 times!! So my first 3 days home were absolute torture, pain, discomfort and more pain. I began to sink into depression because I was deeply regretting my decision to have the surgery and knew there wasnt a damn think I could do about it...yea, permanent! So a week later I have had that pesky drain removed, am in less pain and am on stage 2 clear liquid diet. Still, I have some regret. Im so glad to have found sites like this where I can actually hear from people who have been through what ive been through and can offer advise and encouragement. I really hope I havent made a mistake, but it sure feels like it. I've even told myself that I really didnt even need the surgery. Ugh, im such a mess. Does it really get better?
