Does anyone regret having surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am struggling something fierce and I seriously regret having surgery.

I will honestly say I don't regret it for a single second! The beginning was rough but it got better as each day went by. I am down 35 pounds and I feel amazing!

Not at all. I had moments early on wondering "what did I do", but I barely remember that time. With 65 pounds gone and so much energy, I'm really glad I did it.

I had some regret the first few days after surgery. Now, it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Absolutely! As in not having it performed a few years earlier.

I only regretted it in the very beginning when i was on broth and my family was having steak..and it was more of a pout than a true regret...I missed chewing...but now nearly 3 months out and down 52 pounds I honestly wonder why on earth I didn't do this sooner.

I definitely had the regretful feeling the first week but I think it was more from the hormonal change causing me to become an emotional wreck. Especially because I was in fear I was not getting enough Protein and Water. Slowly that had changed I'm on week 3 post op now and doing better. Have faith ♡

Nope.

Pre-op diet was hard and frustrating. Had trouble getting fluids and Protein in to start with, but every day it got better. My weight loss has slowed down, but it's still progressing. I'm already seeing awesome improvement in my health with 55# gone. I know it will just keep getting better.

I occasionally want to eat more than I physically can, and think "why did I do this" but then it's over especially when I look at the health benefits.

Like many others, I just wish I'd done it sooner.

It gets much, much better. Hang in there! No regrets and I am over 3 years out.

Its normal to have buyers remorse/regret when you are in the first stages after surgery. This is hard and it takes work. You will progress to new stages. It will become easier and be a new normal for you.

Think back to all the reasons of why you had your surgery. Your weigh loss and health is worth it all. Celebrate your 50 pounds gone!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
