I too have a major sweet tooth but just lost a 20 pound regain by following WW. I needed the accountability, but I also found some great sweet satisfying recipes utilizing fruits which made me feel like I wasn't on a diet. I am happy to continue with the same eating pattern. I do still follow sleeve "rules" and est dense protein first to fill me up and never drink within 30 minutes after a meal.

I am considering bariatric surgery and am wondering if anyone on here regrets their decision in having it?

Hi! You have a sleeve, not a pouch (people with RNY have a pouch). You will do yourself a disservice to do any kind of reset. When you're years out from surgery doing any kind of extreme restriction will just cause you to want to binge. You'll lose a few pounds and then gain it back when you inevitably eat ALL THE THINGS. Instead, get back to basics - 3-4ozs of dense protein and the rest low-carb veggies. If you're eating carbs leave them to last and do a couple tablespoons. You'll find the restriction really quickly with your sleeve that way!

I think if you are going to represent your surgery to morbidly obese people you should make it a 5 year goal.

You'll need to get to goal and then maintain that weight for a length of time to have relevance in the community - although normies may be impressed.

Most WLS models start out with blogs or post A LOT of near naked pics on insta/tiktok etc. You'll need to garner 6 or 7 figure followers to compete with the models already out there.

Modeling is a hard profession because it's not about how pretty you are, it's about having "a look" and a certain body - even plus sized models need to look a certain way and saggy skin from extreme weightloss or surgical scars are not it.

There's nothing wrong with having lofty goals - as long as they don't define who you are or who you want to be. You will need a tough shell because you will face a lot of criticism and rejection.

Good luck!

I thought the same thing about 6 months after surgery. I checked around, contacted some agents, and found opportunities were pretty limited. I ended up going in the more obvious direction, and made an even better living doing porn. Maybe that's something that would suit you.
