Regrets

[LUCK 27]

So you gained weight after your surgery? Please explain. I'm sure you had to lose some weight at least at the start.

Eventually you will be able to eat more. After about 2 1/2 or 3 years I slowly gained a little bit of weight but I attribute much of it to changing jobs and having food around ALL the time. Some will at some point and time be able to eat a little more than they could at first. I went from 218 to a stabalized weight of 150 (I am tall) and put on about 14 or so pounds but have lost about 4 or 5 already. The sleeve is a tool and eventually you may put a few pounds back on without trying but it is much easier to lose than prior to the surgery so no worries!

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I don't think I'll have buyers remorse. I'm not sure, I could feel entirely differently a couple days from now, but I've been dieting since I was eleven and I'm completely neurotic by this time about weight loss. Like I can remember being totally cratered by the stomach flu and getting up the minute I felt well enough to get on the scale. I can see myself being miserable from pains and drains, lying in bed thinking, at least I'm getting thinner...

I feel the same. Been dieting since I remember myself. No more. I hate it when they say "you have to pull the switch in your head" or something, as if my mind is to blame for my failure. It's time to pull the switch in the stomach.

Being sleeved ont he 27th..I love all the replies to this post...I thought when I was going to the regrets thread there would be alot of negative talk and I am so comforted to hear that there are no real regrets..every person I have asked says the same thing..their only regret was not doing it sooner..I am being brave and am looking forward to a skinny and healthier me...this is forum is amazing..thanks everyone.

NO regrets! None none none! Sleeved 6/2/10 and reached goal of 150 a month ago. From 250 lbs. I do realize that I want to snack more now and will have to continue to watch that. Otherwise, all good!
