Regrets, i know its just a phase, but any ideas on how to get past this.....

I was so happy before the surgery, 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??

Yes my dr sent me home on pureed food fir 6 weeks.....what about your surgeon? My moms dr sent her home on one week full liquids

I had 2days clear liquid then another 10days full liquid then 21days soft food and purees then regular diet

I just thought my moms dr was different...now I realize my dr is different ...outside of cream soups and mash potatoes protein shakes are what I'm living on....

Ladilush, wow did he take into account you are healing? Ive never heard of purees as stage one. Just wow. How much have you lost just curious? Im one week today and no way I could stomach food now. Good luck

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.

Was aprox 247 on 1/30 surg date scale this am says 230 not sure how much is water but thats whAT IT says there is no way i could toletate purees now. Cant really tolerate liquids. So i will be losing fast but health no

i have found such a difference in what doctors prescribe for post op diet

i wish they could get abit closer. i was on clear fluids 2 days.....then a week of liquids 2weeks...i am currently onpureed 7 days.then soft mechanical

for 7 days...are youfeeling.'i know..it's such a mental thing...you will do better...

that's two weeks of liquid

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!
