Hi sleevers

Im 10 days out from surgery and have been losing weight. But im right now very depressed as i see others enjoying nice food. I am a real foodie and currently regret doing this. Still its done now. Painful drinking and very uncomfortable feeling. I would recommend having a good hard think if you can avoid this surgery. Im paying the price for lack of discipline in the past. I can already do things like put my shoes on which was hard to do. At the moment my life is dull and boring. Will post how i go .

DeeJay,

The remorse you are feeling is natural, and a lot of people have some regrets during the recovery period. I can't promise you that you wont have any regrets in the future, but I can tell you that it does get better once your stomach heals and you get into the solid foods stage.

This time is temporary. Life may suck right now, but you did something that your body will thank you for later. You are going good to be able to eat again...and who knows...maybe the food you are missing may not be the same for you when you can eat. From what I've read on here for many, the food they ate before no longer appealed to them. Keep fighting the good fight and best of luck!

I am 3 weeks out and the hardest part of the recovery is psychological! For 40 years, I have eaten what I want and how much I want and now I can't. BUT this is what I needed. I had to willpower to stop eating. I am only 3 weeks out and people tell me everyday.....I look amazing. Five weeks ago, I wore a 26W and today I wear a 18w. I have stopped loosing weight but the inches are dropping. Hang in there.....it is difficult but I needed it. No regrets for me.
