indecision

I am just over 3 months post op and so far no regrets. Sure I wish I could eat more but that really isn't a regret, that would just be the fat guy in me talking...

Straightforward and less talky talky is the way we like it usually. :-)

almost 3 months out and 1 without the crust at the end.

I want to buy a new bed and have it last longer than 3 years and not have a big sag in it...LOL

I would be willing to bet if you are only getting 300 calories a day you may want to work on getting that number up and your weight loss will start again. Your body has changed and oddly as it may sound you may not be getting enough in at this point. Just my thoughts on it though.

I was 2 weeks out and flew to California from Dallas for work and had no issue.

Congrats!! Today is my 3 months as well! You look great! Keep up the good work.

Hello everyone, I was sleeved on April 3rd 2013 and like many of you I have been heavy pretty much my entire life. In High school and early college it was not a huge deal as I played football and I could eat a house and still stay the same weight and as a lineman I needed some "bulk". After football was over for me though I still ate like I was playing and the pounds just packed on one after another.
3ish years ago I started looking at WLS and had to go on the 6 month diet and at that time I was 418 pounds. I proceeded to lose 130 and at the half way mark to that I decided I didn't need the surgery. Fast forward to this year I ended up gaining back till I was at 362 and decided I had enough of the up and down.
At the first doc visit I was 362 then day of surgery after the 2 week pre op diet I was at 343. Today I am at 296 for a total of 66 pounds so far. Right now my goal is to get to 240 and then see where I am and decide if I need to lose more or not.
The surgery was uneventful for the most part except for the usual uncomfortable feelings that come with it. I have also been lucky in that I have not been sick from anything I have ate and hope it stays that way.

Yep me too! If more goes due to surgery then less shaving I have to do. :-)

almost 3 months out and 1 without the crust at the end.

I was sleeved on April 3rd my starting weight was 362 and I am at 293 so 69 pounds are gone. My working out has been sporadic at best so I really need to get my lazy butt to the gym...

From recalling your pre surgery views it seems to me you were determined to regret this surgery before you even had it and I can not work out why you proceeded with it to be honest.
Thing is, you have done it now. There is little point in regret as it is not like you can go back and undo it. You made a choice and now you have to learn to work with the consequences of that choice. Only you can do that and it will involve changing the way you feel about it. Your feelings are your within your power to choose and you can. choose to feel differently about it all.
You don't have to be on these boards for more than a week before hearing all about stalls, especially at 3 weeks. You know this stuff already. What is it you are seeking to achieve by writing this OP? Is it attention you are after? Validation?
I know I seem harsh and I know I am blunt. I don't often notice posters, I more read the content than check to see who is saying it, so recurrent posters don't often stand out for me. But you have and I have to say it isn't in a positive way. I am noticing recurrent posts of negativity and really all of that is going to lead to self sabotage of your sleeve and, basically, a miserable life. Why choose to be miserable when you can choose to be happy?
Of course your clothes don't fit right, you just had bariatric surgery.
Of course your body shape is changing rapidly, you just had bariatric surgery.
Of course you can't eat what you want, you just had bariatric surgery.
Of course exercise feels hard right now, you just had bariatric surgery.
So you look dishevelled? Do something about it. Do your hair, give yourself a mani/pedi and a facial if you can't afford to get one done professionally. Choose not to look dishevelled.
Clothes hang loose? Use a belt, use a scarf, use a needle and cotton, use your head and use google for ideas on how to turn what you have into something that looks good and feels comfortable for little to no cost.
Choices. You have them. And make them knowing that you have to live with the consequences of the choices you make. Just like you now have to live with the consequences of making the choice to have bariatric surgery. You have to live with your decision, Janice, so you may as well chose to live happily.

Just want to say good luck and GO SPURS GO!!!
