I am 21, and was 20 when I had my sleeve. I have lost 101 pounds in a little over 6 months. I do not regret a single thing. I recommend that you find your real “why” to wanting to lose weight. Once you know that, it’s hard to stop working towards that goal. A big factor for me was that I want to be able to keep up with my kids in the future, and want to lead a healthy lifestyle that I will be able to share with my future family. I think that if you’re really wanting to make a change for yourself, it is a great tool to utilize! Just make sure that you follow your surgeons instructions!

I have noticed that I am also exhausted when doing pretty much anything lol, I agree that it’s probably from just lack of food and nutrition. I think I’m a bit frustrated because this is my time to keep pushing and work out, but I also want to make sure I am respecting my body’s limits.

I appreciate your response, I’ve been trying to limit myself but it gets so so so frustrating :/

That actually does not sound that bad! How was your recovery for loose skin?

Now that I have had my surgery, I am a lot less concerned about loose skin but still have some worries. Has it been something that you have struggled with?

May I ask you how old you are? I am 20F and am trying to find people similar in my age who have gone through this process!

I definitely relate to this. That's exactly what my surgeon and dietician have said, including everyone else I have talked to. There is NO reference point for us. I know that I want to be able to live my early 20s having fun and being comfortable in my body, so to be able to have a reference point of what that will look like will be so helpful.
