Hello everybody! I was sleeved August 16th. I haven't been in pain or anything, I am not hungry but I want to chew!!!! I still have one more week until full liquids (pudding, yogurt cream of chicken etc). I think I am kind of regretting the surgery, it's going to be about 7 weeks before I can start regular foods so I'm not sure if I regret the surgery or I feel like this because I've been on a liquid diet for almost a month now and I miss chewing food? Has this happen to anybody here? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

Please no negative comments

Thank you very much!

It's a phase. I went through it too. I'm almost at 10 weeks post op and I have days where I think to myself "what was I thinking" but then I get on the scale and I see the numbers and how my clothes that use to be tight are now way to big and I remember why I did it and can see the progress I've made. The liquids phase was super rough but you will get through it. I know it feels like you will never have food again (trust me I was right there too) but you will. I remember the first "soft" food I had was a scrambled egg and it was the best one of my whole life LOL and I was never really a fan of scrambled eggs to begin with. It's weird how you begin to really appreciate food once you can start eating it. Keep your head up! I promise it gets better!
