Hi all! I'm new to this site so I'm a little nervous because I never opened up about anything like this before. So here it goes. I have been struggling with my weight all my like! A few years ago, I lost a lot of weight and got down to 148 pounds. That was the very first time I starred in the mirror and saw myself a normal size. It felt so good! Well, my family moved again (military) and I sorta fell in a little depression stump. a couple of years went by and I gained a few pounds back and felt horrible. Then my Mom got sick and within days, I lost my Mom and 10 months later I lost my Dad 2016-2017 was the worst years of my life! I miss them terribly and my only comfort was food and so I began to eat and eat and eat! Before I knew it, I gained all my weight back again. I was horrified! I couldn't believe what I had done. This cant be happening. I lived with it and started to develop medical conditons due to the weight. I then decided to consider weight loss surgery and end this life long struggle. I went through the whole process and was sleeved on December 14th! It was a rough 24hours because I was so sensitive to all the IV meds they gave me, after 10minutes I would vomit everything! Fast forward, I feel a whole a better and I'm finishing up my first week
