I'm 2 weeks out and wondering if anyone else had ever gone through the "regret" phase? I hope nobody criticizes me. I just want to know if this is common our of I'm alone. If you can't help me, pleaser don't comment anything negative or nasty. I don't want to feel worse. I don't know if it's because I miss eating like I used to or miss eating certain foods. Anyone ever go through this and if so, does the feeling go away?

I am pre-op, so I can't comment on the emotions from this surgery.

But - I had a total knee replacement 7 years ago and struggled sooooo hard with cutting my bones off and getting fake parts - that I waited until I was falling going up and down steps when the knee buckled to have the surgery. I still hated having it. After surgery I had crying-in-my-sleep bone healing pain for 6 months. And painful physical therapy. But I can square dance and hike and it's all good now, yes kneeling is still a ****** but that is why they invented knee pads and foam!!!

I imagine I will have high emotions during this process and hormone disruption (hopefully not worse than menopause), and battles with food desire but I will persevere.

I suffer from depression after surgery, had horrible post partum, felt like I was elevated and couldn't get down! It passed though, and so will this emotional whirlwind. I attribute my struggles now to losing 42 pounds in 8 weeks. My hormones are everywhere.

I'm 4 weeks po. I'm not regretting, but I must say, it's a little harder than I thought. I've had no complications, and I eat and drink what I'm suppose to.
But I feel very tired, and I feel sort of down atm. Miss my work, miss having energy, weight loss is slow..etc. I always thought I was so strong, so I am a little surprised by it all.
