When you got up to your hospital room, did you say what did i do.... How long after did you realize you did the right thing

Are you kidding? I was asking myself that in the recovery room! But then I just kept reminding myself that this was a huge leap off a very big cliff, and I was going to fly!

That, or it could have been the good drugs.

Yes I had buyers remorse my first 2wks out but now I am getting over it ..

I have not once regretted the surgery, i am so happy of what my future holds.

Not for one single minute. I had a really pleasant and pain free surgical experience. I knew the moment I woke up this was the right thing to do. This was confirmed when I got home 2 days later and saw my feet were not swollen for the first time in years and reconfirmed when I went for my 2 week follow up and had lost 26lbs.

Never regretted it for a second. Despite my complications, my vomiting, constant diarrhea, etc. I have never ever EVER thought this surgery was anything short of my miracle.

I was sleeved Monday (12/14) and it has not been all butterflies and unicorns but have never been so optimistic in my life! Absolutely no buyers remorse from me!

I regretted every second of every day for 2 weeks. Now that I am almost 5 weeks out I have no regrets.

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner - my surgery was 10 Nov 2015. I'm curious as to the source of the remorse. Is it the pain? Missing food? Realization that your eating life is forever changed?

I seem to have been one of the lucky ones. My surgery was 10 Nov 2015. I went home the same day. I had only minor discomfort the first few days but no real pain. At one point I wondered if they actually performed the surgery until I realized I couldn't eat more than 1/4 of a cup.

Of course, I miss all the holiday dinners and treats --- but then I look at the 39 pounds I have lost so far and smile.

Never had any buyer's remorse. My recovery was also so much easier and pain free than I expected. I'd do it again in a heart beat.

Yes, I said that for the first two weeks. I was convinced I had destroyed my life. Once you get back to eating normal food and you start losing weight and feeling better, the fear goes away. I can say now that at 28 months post-op my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Every day for the first week. In the hospital wasn't so bad, I just hated dragging my IV around and I felt so helpless. But once I got home I felt like crap, I couldn't get down my pain meds cause they tasted awful, everything I ate made my stomach gurgle, I couldn't get my fluids in.. But every day has gotten a little better! I feel good!

Guys I'm three days out and I can say I feel super disappointed. I'm in a lot of pain (abdominal and my chest/espoghagus). I keep reading people aren't in pain. Is there anyone feeling like the game operation guy. My insides feel all twisted up and by the way I cannot stand the smell or sight of most foods especially broth. Please help me!!!

@@caressaxoxo I grok. Three days out had me back into the hospital in extreme pain. Put your mind on auto pilot and roll through the pain. You must keep going forward as there is no going back. No chance ever of a do-over. It will heal. All of it. Broth sucks? Don't have it. Take the popsicle. Everything is swollen and sore on there. It isn't easy to adjust. Sip and take your pain killers. It will look better after some rest.

I was sleeved on 12/8. The first week I would wake up feeling great but by the end of the day I regretted my decision, I would lay in my bed and cry thinking I really messed up by getting this done. This week has been 100x better, pain is subsiding and I surprisingly have a lot of energy. I feel more and more like myself everyday. But I know with major life changes like this there will be good days and bad days so I'm trying to just roll with it.

I've been sleeved in dec 6th, and I was full of regret for the first 10 days or so.

I am in the puree stage and I can't have any Protein at all.

Dairy gives me dhiarrhea and pureed chicken or fish feel like lead in the stomach.

I've been trying to eat all the foods I am supposed to, but I don't tolerate them.

As soon as I realized that some foods are not good for me now (everybody says in the future it will get back to normal), I started feeling better.

I have lots of energy and I will be back to work this coming week.

Reading this forum helped me a lot to understand everybody feels like this at some point.

I think the turning point for me was 2 days ago when I started to eat something that tastes ike food and did not feel like lead in my stomach (100% corn Pasta in onion clear Soup (pureed)), this made me feel better.
