  1. I like you lost weight with the two weeks prior. I started thinking to myself. Hey, I can do this the rest of my life. Eating healthy. Losing weight. Then my mom suggested I go thru with it. She told me that she went most of her life yo-yo dieting. So I did. The first 3 days is painful. But then the first week went by then the second week. Remember there is no real food during this time.So, the third week came. And i was finally allowed to eat soft foods. I at this point don't understand but I should of been happy with that. Happy about eating real food. I was allowed to eat mashed potatoes. But instead my body had taken a tole. I developed anxiety. I was not even happy to had lost 25 lbs. I just wanted to feel good again. Like i had on my 2 week prior low fat diet. My point is if you have doubts, like I did go with what you want. Just be aware that you might have anxiety. Noboby told me that was a possibility. I even called the nurse where i had it done, and told her that i had one of the worst experince in my life. A full blown panic attack. And guess what she toldme. That it was common , and that I'm going through a "hump" and maybe i should get some medicine to help me cope through this time. I felt betrayed and I'm sure in the end I will feel better but if I can just let one person understand the road ahead of them then I will feel better. And if they choose to go threw with it the thats there decision and I wish them the best. But please sike yourself up for that 14 days of recovery. I admit I am feeling better emotionally. I just wish someone was honest enough to tell me about the "possibilities". Good luck with whatever you deceide.
