You don't need us to tell you that you made a mistake. You knew before you started this thread. Don't beat yourself up anymore. That episode is over. It's done. It's in the past. What matters now is what you do next. You already know what to do. Good luck!

Welcome! What does AA mean in your case? I could think of a few different possibilities.

With all due respect, you're trying to solve a problem you don't yet have. I had cravings shortly after surgery but about two or three weeks later they went away. I bet yours will too. Good luck!

There's so much info online that I didn't bother with a book. As an author (that sounds so pretentious) I can tell you the moment you publish a book, it's out of date. Anyway, good luck!

I'm 2.5 years past surgery & still have one Omeprazole in the morning & another just before bed. Then again, I probably consume a higher-acid diet than most. That's just me. Good luck!

I don't know. None of us do. My suggestion: Take a sip. If it feels good, have another sip. If it doesn't feel good, you're not ready. Experiment until you are ready. Good luck!

Good advice here. But one of the best skills to learn IMO is how to filter information that other people give you. You're probably already good at filtering information people who haven't had WLS. Now start learning how to filter what people on this board say. Some of what you read here is gold but some of what you read here is crap. What may be gold for one person may be crap for you. Trust yourself above all others. Good luck!

I'm going to suggest an alternate answer: Document, document, document any/all problems you have with excess skin. Then talk with your surgical team. If you have enough documentation & their support, you *may* get your insurance to pay for excess-skin removal surgery. Good luck!

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Not everyone does. If walking is the way to get in your Water, then walk away! Please consult your surgical team too. Good luck!

You got this!

I was lightly jogging on a treadmill three or so days after surgery. My surgical team told me that when I was ready, I was ready. My suggestion is to start with something simple like jogging in place. If that hurts, you're not ready. If that feels good, try some treadmill work. Then build up to distance runs indoors or outdoors, whichever you prefer. Good luck!

Congratulations! I don't think we post enough photos here so good for you!

Totally normal. I was scared as hell. I'd be more worried if you weren't concerned at all!

I work for a major company & that behavior wouldn't be tolerated. If someone said that to me, I'd go straight to human resources.

You got this!
