I do not ,even for a second, regret my surgery!

I do often still forget how slowly to eat, and regret my own stupidity when I get discomfort, or sliming.

I do often have a moment where the voices in my head are telling me that I'd be sooo much happier if I could just have a big old gorge on junk food, sweet stuff etc, and then I remember I can't do that and I maybe have 30 seconds of dissappointment that iit is no longer an option.

HOWEVER both of these things make me realise that with all to good will in the world I would still be unwittingly sabbotaging myself on any other eating plan because my body would not help me to curb my dumb thinking patterns.

Are there moments where a part of me would like to take some time out and eat my body weight in rubbush without consequence? Yes, a few. Are those moments significant enough to be troubling? No never. My only doubts have so far served to affirm why I needed this surgery to help me be happy.

Good luck in your choices xx

I Love hearing all of the replies, the good, the bad and the ugly. I have yet to hear anyone say they completely regret it. I am 6 days out, very tired - not a lot of energy at all. But I think that it's temporary. Keep the feedback coming!

It's been pretty easy for me. I don't regret it one bit. If I don't lose another pound (even though I hope I do) I won't regret it. I feel so good about myself and I do things I never could before!!

It has been 14 mos for me. I settled in a few lbs more than I want, but I look good. I feel pretty good, but not perfect. If I did it again I would see first why SO MUCH of my stomach would need to be taken. If anything I regret not trying something a little less drastic like taking half my stomach or 65%. I worry long-term that I'll be 80 and not able to eat or eat as well as at least can now. It would be less hassle if I had a little more room there.

But that said, if I didn't have the surgery I'd be miserable and unhealthy too......always regretted losing so much of my stomach though. This is really restrictive and sometimes hard to get enough food down even when it is great food. I think time will prove this surgery was a bit drastic on the size front.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
