It's happened to me too. I even went to Orlando where they have a few seats on the rides for big people and I was STILL too big! Not anymore I can sit comfortably in an airplane seat, use the belt (no extender) and I believe I am under the weight limit to use the slides in Water parks, so I am looking forward to summer. Of course I am going to look very, uh, interesting in a bathing suit, but who cares?
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!

Glad to find this forum! I'm new on here and was sleeved on March 5th.

I go out to eat probably 10+ times a week. The only problem is that I get bored because I am enjoying a lot of restriction still. So I finish my food and the rest of my party still has a few more courses to go!
NurseG, I totally get it - but let me tell you, the way I feel and the way that I look, there is no way I'm going to be depressed! I'll take my indifference/boredom with food instead of the guilt, shame and overall crappy feeling any day.
Soon, you're going to catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and not recognize yourself. When that happens, you better let us all know!

Greek yogurt and string cheese really helps boost my Protein - sound like you might have caloric room for that!

Thank u all so much for the advice. I agree, the malabsorption scares me. I came here, to this board so I can hear more good reasons as to why this is the right choice for me. Thank u for taking the time to help me....I'm gonna get SLEEVED!!!!! Yay!!!!!

Sleeve was the clear choice for me as there are no malabsorption issues.

I told everyone that would listen because I was only taking 5 days off and I wanted them to know why I might not be "myself" when I got back.
I'm lucky though, everyone is 1000% supportive. I know, it's an exception, but it's why I chose my employer.
I hope you work something out with them OP.

I'm going to have to "Unfollow" this thread - y'all are scaring me! LOL
Progress, not perfection - but please don't hurt yourselves!

I was the person that would have 4-5 refills of diet coke while eating out.
I've had no problem retraining myself (so far) - you quickly learn every ounce is precious space in your new stomach (and you are eating so little) you won't want a drink while eating.
We stay so hydrated, that eating and swallowing is no problem.

Stress? Nerves? Body going into shock from lack of carbs? Too much dog meat?
Relax...you're gonna do great. When you come out of surgery all these little troubles are going to disappear. You're going to have all new troubles that will make these pale in comparison.
Uh...I mean....everything will be rainbows and unicorns.

I am rooting for you all - I hope you get the same satisfaction feeling fantastic post-op with very tiny meals as you do with the big ones.
I don't feel like I'm deprived at all and the weight is just flying off me (almost too fast).
Very excited for you all

I haven't had any food cheating - but I am super non-compliant in regards to going to the gym!!! Can't seem to get my butt there :-(
