I know what you mean. I am 19 days out and I have a little "remorse" every day. I've lost 51 pounds since I started(Oct.18) the liquid diet though and that makes it all worth while. Started at 378 now at 327. I just miss food. Its getting better every day though !!!! Hang in there.

So glad to know that I'm not alone in this thanks for your support and you hang in there

You know what? I think this is pretty normal. This might also be unpopular, I dont know, I havent been on this sight this long but I will tell you what my surgeon told me.

Don't be crazy with the Vitamins and Protein drinks. If you just CANNOT stand them at this stage, let it be for a few days until the trauma of this all wears off. Chance are you are not going to get depleted just because you took a week off. Think about all the weeks you ate like hell and never took any Vitamins. In the future you will need to suck it up but right now just don't stress. My surgeon also does not have us do Protein Drinks. I go to an upscale private hospital and he is actually of the opinion that most bariatric surgeons are in bed with the supplement companies and think that Protein supplements are WAY oversold.

Very normal. I remember crying my self to sleep. 4 years out now, can never go back to pre vsg days. It's just new. Have a good cry, most people have these regrets, cry for the old you, but look forward to meeting the new you. I can't wait to hear your thoughts each passing month, to years, when you are giving advice to the next newbies!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
