Hi Katherine,
That is a really good idea on your end. I had a really good day yesterday. Reach out for support, my family on here has really helped. I guess a way to look at it is that it took me years to get to where I am in regards to weight and there is absolutely no easy way out and this is just part of the process. Can’t wait to continue to ready abt your journey as well.

Thank you for your post I appreciate it

I felt the exact same way. I watched a ton of YouTube videos of people who had wls and they all mentioned feeling the regret in the first couple of weeks. And it’s not just a small feeling of regret that you can get over by watching a funny movie or taking a walk. I was giving myself extreme love and self care, forcing myself to take walks even when I felt too down, etc., and still spent two weeks in what I would consider one of the lowest depressions of my life. The fog is slowly lifting and it does get WAY better when you can start having more substantial food items and not just broth and Water. It WILL get better. I identify so strongly with what you describe. It’s a mourning process for many people. food has always been my best friend and my comfort, and with this surgery I have chosen to kill my best friend. It’s an actual time of grieving and don’t let anyone make light of that for you. Hugs.

Thank u all for the encouraging words u have no idea how much better it feels to know I am not alone. Today feels like it’s going to be a much better day. Thank u [emoji1431]

Hello,
I have felt so much better once the pain subsided. We just need to relearn our stomach. I realized I just can’t have anything with lactose (whey) in it. Once I switched to whey isolate products and able to get my Protein and Vitamins in life has been getting better. This is how I imagined it, limited with food but ok since it was expected, I just wasn’t expecting the pain associated with it and as cliche as it sounds like u said it does get better, this is part of the process.
Good luck we will get through this together

Hello everyone, so I am 10 days post op and regretting my decision to no end, had a bout of crying today. The pain in my belly goes and comes and does not tolerate dairy anymore apparently. I can barely sip 15g Protein Water and that’s it as far as getting my protein in. Wish I would have tried Weight Watchers one last time. I keep reading that things get better but I still have to see what My stomach Can and cant take. How is it possible that our system changes so drastically. I thought I would still be able to eat just not as much and that doesn’t seem to be the case. Some things u just can’t eat anymore. Sorry for being a Debbie downer just a bad day I guess.
