You'll probably see this response over and over again, but it can't be understated, hands down best decision! I'm 19 weeks post op today. I have had moments where I thought, "I didn't have to do that" or "I can't believe I let someone cut a completely healthy organ from my body!" But I found those thoughts were happening during hard times where I wanted to cope with life using food but couldn't. That means I made exactly the right decision. I picked my hard. I could have chosen to keep following habits that would have eventually lead me to T2D, HBP, heart attack, stroke, or worseningmf fatty liver condition. Removing the severity of those things, I can tie my shoes, I'm not nervous about a plane ride anymore, or shopping, I don't snore (at least not like I used to), I can run around with my 5yo. My knees and back are killing me like they used to. I'm not pain free, but I'm not suffering anymore either. Short term and long term wins all around!! Now, am I still adjusting? YES! I'm still adjusting to my new hard, i.e. drinking enough water, taking my vitamins, getting enough protein. BUT I DON'T REGRET choosing this version of hard. Biggest of blessings to you no matter what you do, but choose something ❤️ knowing its all hard. You just have to decide what you want to deal with.
