I love a happy ending!

Was weight loss surgery pushed on you for your health, and you didn't want to have to have it? It seems to me that the people most likely to have difficulty making the transition are those who didn't come into this process fully wanting it, but were being pressured.

 Oh no, it was my choice.  I had already been to a seminar when I got my last bloodwork back that showed me as prediabetic even though I was already on metformin for PCOS.  That scared me straight enough to finish pursuing the surgery.

I guess I resented my sleeve keeping me from my old lifestyle of overeating from time to time.  I know that's a good thing in my mind, but my inner child really wants a diet Coke and some donuts!

Thank you so much for posting this!  I am 4 weeks out tomorrow and can really relate to being frustrated by the changes and giving up food for emotional comfort.  Every time I get head hunger and eat something I shouldn't or try to eat too much, I end up feeling like crap.  At the same time, I love and hate my sleeve for bringing me to a screeching halt on the food.

I also take Lexapro and Synthroid (generic) so I can relate there too.

Congrats on your weight loss!
