Looking for someone that's preparing for Sleeve Surgery

hey i had the sleeve about 2 years ago and if you do the research i really wish i did it sooner. I don't know what part you are in this but here are a few things i wish i knew before having it. After surgery it hurts like holy hell. you will wish you never got and you will wonder why you got it. but a year later you will see why. you will be basically a whole new person so prepare for people to treat you different! people will call you a cheater even though they have no idea how much it took for you to have this surgery. at first you will drop the weight and FAST !! there is a point where you will go without losing weight mine was around month 5 and went on for a couple of weeks. I thought i messed up but you will be back at losing weight it is normal. YOU CAN GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK and when you do and go back to your old eating habits it's hard to kick back in shape. I gained 30 because of birth control and i regret it everyday !! you can still eat junk food well for me anyways. Mix alcoholic drinks make me violently sick but straight shots are fine. It hurts if you eat too much or too fast so just slow down and always be mindful you don't need much to get by anymore. don't drink and eat i know you think its okay but its not. soda well anything with bubbles makes me feel weird and way too gasey don't waste your time or calories on it !! ii still look in the mirror and see myself as i did 100 pounds ago but so much is different. Close fit better, life looks better lol but always remember people know you as the big person so you will have people that hate you lost the weight, you may even lose friends... just avoid at all cost to gain the weight back and stretch your sleeve because you would of done it all for nothing !! thanksgiving is a really tough holiday for me because it my favorite holiday where i use to stuff my face. Now i just pack my food up to go! the great part is one meal if you go out turns into like 3 meals so SCORE you save money. the best protein shake i've had is bodylogix - Natural vanilla and svelte cappuccino. be mindful what you like before surgery won't always be the case afterwards. any other questions you can always reach out to me
