Waiting for my RNY date butI am getting a little freaked out!
I'm 4 months out and I am still scared that I am going to fail. But, I am keeping my head down and tackling it one day at a time. There are days where I am going to slip up, we all do, we are only human. But tomorrow is another day. I had my doubts, was scared as hell before my surgery, I held back tears when they wheeled me back into O.R., I was a real big guy and was scared my heart would give out even thought a cardiologist said I was just fine. We get scared its we are only human. Looking back it's the best thing I have done for myself. I've lost over 100 lbs in the past 4 months and I feel so much better. I cannot even imagine a year from now. I hope nothing but the best for you and I hope your surgery goes as smooth as mine did, no complications, infections....nothing. It was kind of a breeze really. Be brave, if you have done the sleeve. You CAN do this. ~Peace~

I almost 7 months out, and I am down 114 lbs. Everytime I stall I think, this is it. I'm going to stop losing weight and I'll be forever fat. Then I mentally slap myself and realize this too shall pass. I have and continue to fear that I will fail with the surgery. I was a little afraid that I would be sick, especially because before the surgery I never drank water. I only drank diet dr. pepper mostly.
Does dumping and "foamies" suck when it happens? Yes, but it doesn't last forever. You will realize what you did wrong and not do it again. I think dealing with dumping/foamies is more preferable than GERD / sleep apnea / diabetes.
I personally no longer crave stuff. I use to crave pizza at around the 2-3 month mark. My doctor told me that if I was really craving something, take a bite, chew it up to get the flavor, and then spit it out.
