Alaina25, I have a question, did you feel a little regret right after surgery? I just had mine 4 days ago and for the first day or two, I was like ... What the heck did I do?

Start: 188

Now: 155

Height: 5'2

I figured you were smaller. I have friends that had the surgery and lost so much in the first week and month. I'm losing slower but my weight was less.

Hell yes I felt regret!! I felt like total **** for the first month. I ended up having to stay in the hospital an extra 5 days because the daily medication I was taking ended up making me nauseous. My boyfriend is a critical care R.N., and is also very good friends with my surgeon and I was told not to expect to feel well for about the first month which is totally true. I had a major meltdown about 4 days out and thought I made a huge mistake but there was no turning back. I can assure you it gets better so hang in there.

Oh my gosh! That was a terrible experience! And yet here you are 7 weeks out and you have no regrets. Honestly, this is one of the best posts I have read - for me personally. I had lost 10 pounds in my 2 week pre-op diet and was excited to get that jump start. Now 4 days post-op, I have gained most of that back and I'm still on my clear liquid phase. I felt like *** for the first few days and feel better now. But your post gives me hope that you can have a rough start and still end up having no regrets later. Thank you SO much for sharing!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
