Temporarily have buyer's remorse / regrets is a NORMAL POST -OP phase. Be grateful if you didn't experience it but more WLS patients experience it than not. It passes just like the liquids and purée food stages.
I'm glad I did go thru it, as it made me realize my recovery was pretty much normal

I did not tell my husband until I had everything setup and a surgery date set. He was initially less than supportive but has since turned into a great advocate.
Everyone's marriage is different. I didn't need the stress of him in my ear with negativity while I was going thru pre-surgery process.
I let him know it was MY body and MY health and he either needed to get on board or STFU.
I told him what I needed from him by way of support and if he couldn't do that, fine but don't stand in my way.
Took him a few days to take it all in( and knowing my husband he did a lot of google searching in those days) but he was ok after that
It worked out fine. He took days off work to be with me postop and is happy with my results

PLEASE EVERYONE REMEMBER WE ARE NOT HERE TO JUDGE. We are here to support you and encourage. We all wish you the best of luck.

Congrats!! I was told light exercise as of yesterday. 3 weeks out. I'm so excited for you. I'm ordering that tape from Amazon today. Thanks for all of your help

that is why the only person that knows is my husband. i feel we are going through enough without being attacked by people that have no knowledge of what we've been through and continue to face daily. that posts screams "stupid" to me. if you truly have a lack of knowledge about a matter it's best to keep quiet because you only make an ass of yourself. bottom line…..she's jealous because you're looking and feeling better than she is. too bad there is not a surgery for jealously! keep on keeping on. i am only 27 days post op and would love to battle it out with someone like her about now. this is not the easy route. she should do a little research on the subject before spouting off. you handled it well by the way!

I got to normal BMI (160) in 10 months. The last 15 took about 4 months

In my opinion Dr.'s and their staff, still have somewhat of "The god complex".
They like educated patients but only on what that specific practice deems is their protocol. Pre-op and post-op instructions vary greatly. I'm a middle of the road person myself, and believe in reading everything I can get my hands on. Sorry your Dr.'s office is un supportive.

My give-a-damn meter sees things like that as a someone trying to accidentally-on-purpose put you on public blast...
My response would've started with "b-tch please"....

I am 5'8" and maintaining at 145. Highest ever weight 272.

I'm 5' 8" and wear a size 4. I'm 145 pounds.
It was not a huge struggle to get to this weight from my high of 280 pounds.

Awesome I'm struggling now with these last 17 and noticed I've been eating more but I believe that I am eating more because I'm working out a lot. Again congrats that's a job well done

Hit the "unfriend" button!

You probably need to see your Dr. to document the complaints and prescriptions for antibiotics and/ creams
