  1. I think as times goes on, the "regret" phase passes. I'm getting better and better day by day. Reading others responses has also been a huge help andI hope it helps others too. WhenI wad in the hospital, I was too drugged up to care that my husband brought in BK. He didn't want to, but I told him to eat normal in front of me. He is very supportive and feels bad when he eats fried chicken in front of me. This will happen, but realistically I can't expect everyone to not eat around me. It's not fair to them. It is hard on us though, isn't it. So I totally get it. Eventually once we are past our hurdles, we won't feel this regret anymore. We'll keep strong together.

  2. Good advice! That was one reason I posted this was to find out if it was just me or if this was a common, temporary issue, which I can deal with better. I have so much to do on my"bucket list" that I've not gluten to do because I was too heavy. I look forward to doing them still after I reach my goals.

  3. Thats a very good idea! One of the things I want to do is learn to scuba dive, but I need to get down about 80 more lbs. So I can focus on that! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

  6. I'm glad I made this post. I think it will help alot of people who are feeling the same way to realize that this is common, but also temporary. It was really hard at work today. Someone brought a bunch of donuts, muffins, and pastries in. It was hard, but I never went near them even though I was tempted. We have to focus day by day, I guess. We all need encouragement at times, not criticizing. Frankly, criticism is something I grew up with. Never being able to do anything right, ever. Encouragement works better for me always. We can do that for each other here. The ENCOURAGING responses from this post have really lifted my spirits and are helping me day but day look toward the future of possibilities, not the current hurdle I'm facing. I hope other people who are reading this fell the same way too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  7. I went on the same way, but I sure wasn't told to expect this. Apparently this is common for most people. You must be ones of the lucky ones. The thing about implement long term changes is that it takes time and you have to break old habits while creating new ones. That is not an easy thing to do. Congratulations on your achievement of never having to experience that liked the rest of us. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  8. I guess this is the hurdle we gave until then. Maybe this is our old life habits we are mourning. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  9. I hope we both get through this Especially since we are both at the same place and time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  10. Sorry, DM, not CM. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  11. That's exactly how feel. I have lost weight before, but I'm a emotional stress eater, and I get a LOT of stress from my mom, sister, and aunt. Then I gain it all back. I've tried exercising and yoyo dieting so many times. My CM was out of control. I feel likeI failed because I did the surgery. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  12. GNC, not UNC. Hate auto-correct Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  13. Thank you everyone for helping me today. I feel better knowing its temporary and that I'm not alone. If It was just me I would worry what's wrong with me. To know that this is a normal reaction, makes me feel better and I know I can get through it. I love having this support group. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  14. My doctor told me could take some of that liquid, like Pepto Bismal, but it's called something else, for nausea. I'll look at my paperwork and find the name for you. Maybe that'll help your nausea. Being nauseous won't help you get to your goals of you can't get your protein in. Also my doctortold me about GenePro, which you can get at UNC. 1 scoop is 30 g of protein and it is flavorless. So you can pour our on anything! Goggle GenePro GNC send read the reviews. They are all from people who have had Gastric Bypass like us and most of the reviews are great! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  15. It sends I burp with everything unless I take my chewable gas tabs Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  16. I am at soft foods now, which I just started a couple of days ago. I'm still drinking some protein shakes though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  17. You've had it worse than I did by far. I shouldn't even complain. I hope you start feeling better. We'll all be here for each other. Have they given you any nausea meds? I love mine. They dissolve in my mouth and I've never had any. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  18. Thank you. Its nice to be able to talk to others who understand and have been through this already. I try talking to friends who had our done and all they can say is things like "chew slowly" "don't do this" "don't do that", which I know! Of course I can't talk to them about this! They will Newberg understand what I'm feeling. Smh. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  19. So far, I've been okay there. Lol.. well see though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  20. Thank you. I'm feeling a little discouraged now. My husband tries to make me feel better by pointing out that I lost 19 lbs. It's hard to get him to understand though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  21. So you still have soreness too? That's something I'm glad to know. It sends I'm also gassy a lot too. I take a bite, I'm gassy. I take a drink, I'm gassy. I'm hoping that ends eventually. As long as I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, I'll feel better about this whole process. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  22. This sounds good! Maybe I'll make this! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  23. I've lost 19 lbs, but can't see it physically. My DM numbers are down. My neuropathy has stopped. But I still have this feeling of regret. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  24. I'm 2 weeks out and wondering if anyone else had ever gone through the "regret" phase? I hope nobody criticizes me. I just want to know if this is common our of I'm alone. If you can't help me, pleaser don't comment anything negative or nasty. I don't want to feel worse. I don't know if it's because I miss eating like I used to or miss eating certain foods. Anyone ever go through this and if so, does the feeling go away? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
  25. Ugh... So sorry you had that experience! I hope it has gotten better for you since! I was sleeved on the 25th and nothing major except for gas bubbles. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app
