    Ok! So Mr. Regret has finally paid me a visit. Post surgery recovery has been ok. 1 week now since my surgery and if I could do it over... I would decline.

    food was such a part of my life. I miss dinner with my family and feeling like a freak. I feel heart burn even after drinking Water. Finally had sex with my husband and it really doesn't feel the same. Quite awkward and a little painful. We actually had to stop and think about birth control!

    I know I will get past this stage but as an Executive in the business world I feel like I should have been able to beat this thing they call obesity!

    Most of my family live 1000's of miles away. I decided not to tell anyone because I have the most negative and annoying family members. I was on a public weight loss journey before the surgery and so I figured they would just think it was from that journey. I literally decided to lose weight in November and lost 20 pounds by the new year. I had my first consult for WLS on 1/7/2016 and was approved 3/23/2016. Surgery was 4/5/2016.

    I didn't even tell my 24 year old daughters who o am very close to. Only me and my husband know of my WLS. I'm not ashamed but I need support and not interviews or negative comments. When I first talked about it... I got " your crazy and your not that fat!"

    Size 22, 6 feet tall and 342 pounds is fat! I had health issues and felt ashamed that I had gained over 200 pounds in 20 years.

    Anyone else decide to keep WLS to restricted people in their lives?

    The night of surgery was tough due to the anesthesia and just being in the hospital. Stayed two nights due to elevated blood pressure.

    No Pain and No vomiting

    Gas at a minimum

    Only issue was reflux but I called my surgeon and he ordered liquid EX strength Zantac which has been a miracle. Also ordered a mixture called white slider which has kept me regular and able to tolerate my BP tablets crushed.

    I can walk just as well as I did prior to surgery. Back driving and looking forward to swimming when cleared. 5 days and 8 more pounds down.

    No Hunger pains yet but I would love some yogurt!
