Feeling regretful, does this pass?

I TOTALLY get what you're saying! I found out a week after surgery that I had a leak @ spent the next 3 weeks in the hospital. I had SOOOOOO many regrets... I felt guilty for putting my wonderful boyfriend through all that & felt like I was being selfish. I cried... A LOT!! I can tell you that it does pass though. Im starting to feel better now & the weight has finally started coming off & THAT'S what will change your mind. It's not easy to get into the routine of eating according to this procedure but it will happen & your definition of a "normal meal" will be different but gratifying. Just be patient & it'll all come together. All the research I did pre-op led me to believe that others were dancing in the streets just days after surgery & suddenly I was in the massive minority but my direction is changing & Im seeing the positive a lil more each day. Keep your chin up!

As a Bengals fan I hate agreeing with a Squeelers fan But she's right.

You are not alone. Tomorrow will mark 1 week post op. I think yesterday was my worst day. Literally took an ambien and crawled up into a ball. Today I started adding some new things toy diet. I put a dollop of sugar free cool whip on my Jello. Made a huge difference. I'm now having a bit if Tomato Soup. It's done wonders to get through this stage. Hang in there. You are NOT alone

I'm not saying that I don't have moments when I really miss being able to dive into a great big hunk of prime rib, but those are just moments that are far outweighed by my increased mobility and overall feeling of health.

<sniff> <sniff>. Ah, sweet memories.... Brought a tear to my eye. That was my favorite thing in the whole world.

Last night I dreamed I was making these HUGE cylinders formed out of milk chocolate. Imagine a chocolate bunny... Only it was a cylinder that stood 4 feet tall and I was filling it with M&Ms, Kit Kats, and whipped cream. Where the heck did that come from?!? I haven't even been yearning for candy!

How did you "find out" you had a leak? What were you feeling? What symptoms?

And what was done to correct it? More surgery?
