I was so happy before the surgery' date=' and for the most part I still am. But every now and then I just break down and wish I didn't do this. Did anyone else go through this and if so how did you get past it??[/quote']

Hey kcinpa! Hope your feeling better today. Your always complimenting others and cheering everyone on so i wanted to check on you and say hope you are feeling better and the blues are gone!

Definitely feeling better. Just had to get past some blues. It helped a lot being on here and talking!

A trick that helped me snap out of it, was trying on clothes. I always felt good once I was able to realize my clothes started fitting me big. Good luck and hope you feel better.

Ps dancing around my house like a fool also helped me feel better, it may have been my body's release because of the cardio from the exercise.

I think that I'm lucky I didn't have that moment of: "What the f***k did I just do to my body". I thought when I woke up after surgery I'd instantly regret it.

My only regret now is that I do feel depressed, but I feel like it's not over the loss of food. I don't miss it much. I'm concerned it's because of the low carb diet causing a serotonin imbalance. Sometimes I miss pizza and soda, but to get through it, you have to tell yourself you did this to lose weight and get fit.

Without this surgery, I'd never do the things I want to do with my body. You have to remind yourself why you did this. What are your goals and keep your eye on the prize!
