I didn't have any second thoughts prior to surgery (I am a week post op today). I did however feel regret immediately after. Then day after surgery I had a breakdown when the bariatric nurse came in to see me. I asked her if anyone ever regrets having the surgery because at that moment I did. She said most people do immediately after but the majority don't the further they get into recovery. I am only a week out but honestly I don't feel bad, just trying to learn the new lifestyle. Pain has not been bad and recovery has been pretty easy. I actually have started to wonder if something was done incorrectly or maybe my doc didn't take out enough because I read all the stories on here of the issues after surgery and I am not having any of them. I guess I should be thankful that I haven't but I just want to make sure I didn't go through surgery for nothing...does that make sense? Anyway....don't be surprised if you wake up after surgery and wonder what the heck you just did to your body! I know it will be worth it in the end!!! Good luck and let us know how it all works out!

I have surgery tomorrow and was on a one week liquid diet. The first couple of days are the hardest (day 2 & 3 for me were the worst). If you can get through that it will be easy. To make it the rest of the way! Just keep thinking about the light at the end!!! Congrats!!!

Thank you all for the pointers. Day 3 post op and i am feeling pretty good. I have not been able to get in all the Protein I should so I am a little worried about how to accomplish that. Pain has been minimal. I have all kinds of noises going on in my tummy....hope that passes!!!! :-). All in all it has been a pretty easy time, hoping that continues!!!! I am so thankful I have found this site. I have found a lot of helpful information on here and y'all have been wonderful!!!
