Regrets: After 3+ years

Anyone 3 years or more post op regret their decision? (Still wishing they could eat like they used to, were able to eat more foods they currently can't or don't because of intolerance). Anyone out there with the time under their belt, wishing things were different?

I am not 3yrs out..will have my one year check up next week..do you have regrets? I do have moments where I wish I could eat more than one or two peices of kfc..but I know the volume and fat would not be so good..I cook things I think I want end up having one peice and then throwing the rest away. wish I could drink like I use to but I know that was what got me messed up in the first place....but I know how you feel..

hmmm, I wonder, I bet that folks 3 years out With regrets are not on this board???

I am 2 years and 2 months out and I still have no regrets other then not doing it sooner! :)

I love these threads :P because it seems like they're asking if anyone succeeded and wished they hadn't. If anyone answers yes to this thread...specifically the question asked about wishing they could eat more....then it just means their food addiction is mighty powerful and they haven't done any work to deal with it. Those people usually will not out themselves.

I suppose they are trying to get an idea of how many people failed at 3 years. as well as how much they miss pigging out. i miss being able to chug cold drinks after a good hard workout. but i am only three months out.

Hmmm, no regrets here. However, I am a fairly good water chugger at 14 months. I wish sometimes I could eat a bit more (healthy) food like broccoli, asparagus and Brussels sprouts. It would be nice to eat to being full of lean dense protein without being punished with slimes.

At just about 14 months absolutely no regrets. I can eat everything I did before just smaller quantities. Why would I WANT to be able to eat copious amounts of food again? I too wish that this surgery was around and popular 20 years ago, how different my life might have been.
