[Please 188]

A lot of people feel like this the 1st week or 2. You'll be happy with your choice soon. It's just a stage, it'll pass....

I think almost everyone goes through this, at least once, during their journey. I've heard the first 2-3 days are the worst, and that people feel better after that. It sucks while you're going through it, but it'll get better.

Yes it gets better it's just a process we all have to go through to get back to a better us

This is so very common. It is not a time to worry or get upset (but please do feel free to complain about it, that is always allowed). You made a good choice, follow through.

I am a couple days past you.. today was better than yesterday which was better than the day before. Thank god for a flexible job and supportive family. Though I did find it really convenient to come online to complain and vent. Right now it does suck hard.

I keep telling myself...this is a choice you made in order to be healthy and live longer. My biggest fear is dying at 60 like my dad did. It is sometimes an obsessive thought I have and that is only 15 years away... I want to be healthy, take less meds, feel comfortable in my skin and happy with my life.

It gets better. I am two weeks out. After week one I feel better each day.

Had mine this past Monday and I haven't once had any regret. I'm glad I did this. The pain will be temporary. We will get through it.

Feeling regret is totally normal. I felt it from around day 4 to day 8. It was bad. But it was all my head and seeing the yummy food my friends kept posting on Facebook or getting an email from pizza Hut. It gets better. I'm almost 3 weeks post off now and I am much happier.

Like everyone said, it's a phase. You're gonna have quite a few "phases" to get through in the next months. After surgery my emotions were all over the place! It gets better. Hang in there!

I know exactly how you feel. I too felt that way. But now that I am almost 5 months post op, I am super happy and feel Amazing! Please know your just going through a stage and it will pass. Try to focus on something else. You just made a life change and your journey just began. Enjoy your new life. And keep in mind that it will get easier and you will truly start to feel great.

What helped me was more meditating. If you haven't done this before go to YouTube and search how to mediate.

Good luck.

yeah, i have been absolutely miserable and then just fine for the whole last week. I returned to work yesterday (after a week) and that helped. But honestly, not being able to eat with my family.. look forward to lunch, .. it sucks. still having regret.

I hear you! I am on Day 6, and still wake up asking myself what the heck have I done. But little by little, I have seen it get better. From day to day I can take in more Fluid and Protein. And like everyone else has said, this is such a common feeling-- our food lives have been totally turned upside down! I would seriously kill to be able to CHEW something right now.

Hang in there. Vent when you need to. And trust the process-- that's what I am trying to do now. It should only get better from here.
