Hello, I'm VQ, I had the sleeve surgery just before Thanksgiving in November 2012. The first month was hell! It's still he'll now but I have gotten used to it. When I first realized I was fat. I started looking for ways to lose weight. I tried everything. I was a bit successful but the truth is I love to eat. I didn't care if it was killing me. Being a big guy for most of my adult life had some benefits. I didn't realize I would lose so much weight. Now I'm skinny. I really don't like it much. When people see me for the first time, I immediately look at their reaction and it's wierd. I realized that I have lost the weight but my self confidence as well. I really want to eat. I also want the weight loss To stop.
