Ok! So Mr. Regret has finally paid me a visit. Post surgery recovery has been ok. 1 week now since my surgery and if I could do it over... I would decline.

food was such a part of my life. I miss dinner with my family and feeling like a freak. I feel heart burn even after drinking Water. Finally had sex with my husband and it really doesn't feel the same. Quite awkward and a little painful. We actually had to stop and think about birth control!

I know I will get past this stage but as an Executive in the business world I feel like I should have been able to beat this thing they call obesity!

Obesity is hard to beat especially because like you said, food is a huge part of some people's lives. When my mother got the surgery she was miserable and had many regrets but after 1 or 2 months she said she'd never go back. Once you start seeing all the benefits you'll realize it was worth it. My mother was so upset because when we went to resteraunts or buffets we'd eat like monsters and she could only nibble. Little did she know we were jealous because we wish we could control our eating and be losing weight lol

@@anitavee, I am starting to second guess my decision also. I am scheduled for surgery on the 25th and I'm struggling with the pre op diet. I was also just diagnosed with PCOS, so I'm started to wonder if I may lose a lot of weight just by treating the PCOS and hormone imbalance. I've been asking myself, "do you really need to do it THIS way?", "can't you just try a little harder?". I have no energy with this liquid diet and I'm a bit nauseous. Also, I'm so scared that since this surgery is irreversible that I may be making the biggest mistake of my life! Aaagghhh! I'm torn...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
