I remember being right where you are. I also remember other people words of encouragement and telling I'm going to get through it.

Yet, all I felt was fear & despair. Like, how can they say this and at the time no one had experienced what I had.

But after the fear and than the anger at myself for doing the surgery. I slowly started to ease up on myself. I had to be patient.

It was not an easy roae. Mine became more complicated because I got pregnant 9 months after my surgery. However, I had a healthy son & I'm still carrying the 25lbs 3 years after having him.

This is all to say. In the end it will balance out. It may not ve the way you expected but this is the path meant for you. You can get through this. Just remember

- Give yourself patience

- Give yourself forgiveness

- Ask for help

- And listen to your surgeon and nutritionist

3 years out and I still have some issues with the sleeve. But, in the end it was worth it & I learned something about myself as well.

I hope this helped a little
