I regret it a little bit because I am 2 weeks and a half out of surgery and I just still don't have no energy and I'm just wishing I was back to my old self

I was the same way. The day after surgery I had a lot of energy for a few days then I lost all of it for about 3 weeks or so. I was out of work for 6 weeks till I had the energy to move completely. I was sleeved 5/29/15.

I don't regret it! I am 3 weeks post op and thus far lost 20 lbs...but I had a terrible week as didn't lose a single pound!

I have read that this 'Stall' is perfectly normal but I wont lie; I am freaking!

Did anyone else stall?

@@donyaki I'd say more people than not hit a stall around 3 weeks. I did and have gone on to lose 70+ lbs...don't freak out! :)

Many go through a period of regretting the surgery and I was among them for about 1 month.

I am 3 years out, down 150 pounds, and have maintained at goal for about 2 years.

However, 5 days post-op, I had internal bleeding and almost died. My BP was down to 65/25 and an ambulance transported me to the hospital in a huge snow storm. Had a second surgery on an emergency basis. I regretted the surgery for a while and mad that I risked my life and almost died.

But when the weight started falling off and all of my health issues disappeared I embraced having the surgery.

Now 3 years later my life is so much better than before the surgery. I'd do the surgery again even if I knew about the second surgery being needed.

Follow the process and use this tool to change your life and get healthy.

I'm 3 weeks post op and I regret it everyday. I can't change it. But I just need to find my new normal.
