18 year old sleeve surgery

[lunarose 97]

Hi, I love food too and loved to eat. I had Thanksgiving dinner here this year and our annual Christmas Eve party. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I still put way too much food on my plate but I just pick at it slowly so that I am eating almost as long as everyone else. I don't try to clean my plate which is something I still sometimes struggle with. I use to eat a lot of bread and 4 1/2 months out I can eat bread but it really doesn't interest me much anymore. I have to be very careful with sweets they are my weakness. Good luck with your surgery. I love my sleeve.

Well I will tell you from experience that you have to put your mind in doing this.. I am on liquid 2 week diet right now and I know for certain that I am going to miss my food. You have to realize that we are 99% the same as you. I was told by my nurse when you are ready you will know it.. You get to a point where you are sick to death of being overweight. You are sick of the comments ;the eyes that say it all when they look at you. When you get ready for the change you will be strong and do it with no problem. Good luck and I will say the people on here are wonderful. They answer and comment on everthing that you will ever need to know..
