    Filled with regret....

    Quote:"I got banded a week ago today and over the week I've really been looking over the paperwork and literally crying over what I am not able to eat. Not just junk, but meats and veggies and fruits that I can no longer enjoy. And I can't drink while I'm eating? I can't do that. I'm ALWAYS thirsty. I just don't know what to do. It has brought me to tears everyday since I've had the surgery...I just don't know what to do. And no matter how much I drink ( I drink small sips of juice/ice tea/water etc. ) all day long, and my urine is still dark which means I'm dehydrated. I'm so sad and at a loss for a solution.... " You're very new to this, and it's a long learning process. You may be having reaction to the anesthesia and drugs that are affecting your emotions. Also, you are going through a grieving process about what you're having to give up. It will get better, honest. It's going to be all right. You'll be able to eat a lot of different foods, just much more slowly and in small quantities. If I were there with you, I'd hold your hand and tell you it's going to be okay. When you start losing weight, you'll look back and realize you made a great decision. Right now, just hang in there. The period right after surgery is very tough. All the best to you!
