In all honesty ...Week 1. Totally Sucks / regret Week 2. Really Sucks / regret Week 3. Sucks less / regret Week 4. This is not so bad / less regret Week 5. Things are looking better Week 6. Normal foods / less regret Week 7. What surgery? And look at all that extra money I have left over at the end of the week Week 8. Life is good. / no regrets (except I should've done it sooner) -66 total since 6/6 pre-op diet started -51 since 6/20 I don't recognize myself in the mirror, and I must say I'm looking hot!!!! But more importantly, sleep apnea, blood pressure and cholesterol are all working themselves out now. I wanted to lose 79 lbs (to get to my high school weight) ... But at this point I can't see not passing right by that. Some people have complications, one friend took 5 months to start eating solids again, and threw up constantly. Another is miserable and can't even drink water 2 months out. Everyone's experiences are different!! I'm just lucky I suppose.

it all gets better eventually. No sense in forcing it... within 4-5 weeks you will be eating like an adult again... at around 6-7 weeks I was already eating adult foods but just much smaller quantities, much slower, and actually chewed the food. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Life will suck for the next 3 weeks and then gradually get better. 2 months out and I am eating normal foods, just MUCH less, down 66 lbs, and happy Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Methamphetamine is great for weight loss. I'm not sure if you admit that you recently used that you will be approved through insurance. I remember having to sign that I was substance free, including alcohol, for a specific period of time but I don't remember how long. The psychologist also asked me 30 different ways about past alcohol/drug use. I happened to never try anything other than alcohol so I was safe. My only addiction was to greasy food.
