Sleeved in December and I feel amazing

[elisa_rose 122]

I had my surgery on December 6th.

Almost 3 months ago.. I've lost 53 pounds already. I feel amazing! It is hands down the best thing I have ever done for myself!! I feel like a new person. Anyone having second thoughts and wants to ask me any questions please don't hesitate!

The hunger we feel during the pre-surgery diet, does it feel the same after surgery? Meaning is it a struggle when you smell foods and watch others eat. I am on day 11 of full liquids pre surgery. It's been tough the last two days not to take a bite out of everything I see.

Congratulations on your amazing progress!!! So happy you are doing great. I can't wait!

My experience, no it's not the same... after surgery I wasn't hungry at all. A few teaspoons of Soup ( when I was allowed) filled me up... wasn't hard to lose the weight. Everyday my scale moved.. please stay strong. It's so worth it. Trust me you can do it. I didn't cheat once. I say that to give you strength. You will be so proud of yourself.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am definitely sticking it out! I am so excited.

So happy the weight has been steady dropping for you. I've read about so many stalls, I am ready for them, but secretly hoping that is not the case for me.

I had a stall. About a 2 weeks ago.. stayed the same for about 10 days.. that's ok.. I stepped up my exercise.. I have a Fitbit, that was a great investment:) keeps me moving. If you don't have one I would definitely suggest picking one up! Now my scale is on the move again. I hit my first goal.. u see 200 pounds;) first time in 7 years:)

That is my first goal as well! It's been over 15 years for me. I am so curious to see how my body will react to the surgery, as I know we are all different.

Again, thanks so much for all your insight.

I would say the hardest part of this experience is getting my mind and stomach on the same page.. you look at a plate of food and think you need to finish it all to be satisfied but your stomach says hell no!! It's a very strange feeling. Hard to explain unless you go through it. Even though you are full you mind thinks your not because you had two bites... it takes a little while to get used to that.

My dad and his wife came to visit me yesterday. I was sleeved Wednesday. They ate Panera bread sandwiches, Soups, and chips (former favorite) in front of me and I couldn't have wanted it less... I could only imagine how much it would hurt!

I can't imagine that feeling. I am desperate to get to the other end of this surgery to experience the feeling. That sounds so terrible, but after struggling with this weight for 33 years, I want and need this.

Thanks for sharing!
