The weight loss is nice but I wish I could undo what's been done. Nothing could have prepared me mentally for this. I am 5weeks out.....

What's making you unhappy? The loss of food?

You'll be able to eat again sooner or later, just less and better choices. You'll be satisfied with less food. I'm sorry you have regrets and I hope it works out for you.

I do miss food. But I miss that refreshed feeling of drinking Water. I had some complications so that also contributes to my feelings.

But you should be able to drink Water again soon, right? I really do hope it gets better.

You are right on schedule. At 5 weeks I regretted my decision every meal.

Good news is:

This is normal

This will pass

You can make it through this

Bad news:

It gets a little worse before it gets better

We have all been there and make it through the other side. You can do it.

You will be able to drink Water again and then you will get tired of drinking only Water.< /p>

I've been worried about missing simple things like Water as well. I've read that it can take an hour to drink 6oz of water. Does this eventually get better? Meaning a year out, can a person drink 12oz of water fairly quickly?

From what I heard nearly everyone has buyers remorse at some point. But you have to remember that this cannot be undone, and that it is for the best that you keep going.

I'm almost 5 months out and things do get better. I can drink way more at a time than I could at your stage in this process. I will never drink with meals or at least 30 minutes after a meal though because I strongly believe this is a reason why people start to gain back weight. The liquid pushes food through the pouch and you get hungry again. I work with 2 other postops >4 years out and both drink with meals, graze all day, drink soda (diet and regular) and eat high carb foods and wonder why they put back on >50 lbs or never got to their goal. I just gave them my bigger clothes. You will adjust and be able to eat a better variety of food, just smaller amounts. You still have to be careful with the type of food you eat. I struggle with choices most days but use My Fitness Pal to help track my choices and to see where I could have improved my day. Back in December, I never imagined how good I would feel today so it does get better. Hang in there - you will be able to drink more Water in the near future.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
