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.....

I am still pre op and have so much anxiety about feeling like this this after.

I hope it gets better for you.

Oh no.. I'm sorry. I hope your experience will be come like mine. I love my new diet and the weight loss. I know it's touch and go but you can get through this.

YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS!!

The health benefits are tremendous for all of us!! It's not easy but it can be done. I always say that if I can do it... Anybody can do it.

Hang in their kiddo!! It'll get better!

I hope so.

I hope so too.... Good luck to u tho

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.

U know that feeling when u drink.......

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.

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?

Buyers remorse can happen :-( hope you feel better soon :-)

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.

Yes this gets much better.
