I was just wondering if everybody was OK after they had the procedure done I had mine done on January 15 and I’m just feeling really emotional right now wondering if I did the right thing if I’m ever going to feel normal again because right now I don’t

You'll never feel the way you use to... And it's kinda the point .

You'll have to exercise longer to feel winded

You'll forget why you used to over eat

You'll finally start peeking on the juniors size side of the store (oops that's me)

You'll start arguing with food labels questioning why so much sugar (seriously why? It's just yogurt)

You'll take way too many selfies from all your new found good angles

You'll forget what being heavy feels like

You may even forget you ever felt any regrets...

what you are going through is normal for many in the early post op period. it is the hormone dump from rapid fat loss and the adjustment to the healing (I remember thinking "OMG am i going to be burping my way through every meal forever?" Now I read posts like yours and go "oh yeah, i forgot about that part". you will feel totally normal in 3-6 months (for me it was 2 months, but i'm a quick healer)...I'm 15 months now, in and if it weren't for:

• being amazed every time i look at a picture of myself
• wondering why i don't get winded anymore, ever
• wondering how far i need to push myself on the treadmill to get my heart rate into the cardio zone
• wondering how the hell these size 2 pants fit me, because that makes no sense at all

...i would not remember I had surgery.

No regrets, and I agree with what everyone above said. I'm almost 8 months out now, and what you're feeling now will change for the better. Our bodies go through so many changes immediately post op it can really throw things off, but it adjusts, and you get used to the new normal.

I had mine on the 16th and im struggling as well with the way my mind is thinking

I had my surgery Dec 18 and I can relate with what you are going through. I am doing a lot better now. It is normal but if you arr concerned I would suggest talking to your Dr.

I am feeling the same way. I didn't realize just how bad my addiction to food was. I am struggling to get in my protein and water. I dont feel hungry at all but I miss regular food. Im on week 2 full liquids. These liquid are starting fo repulse me. I know I will have to change my relationship with food but I miss eating. [emoji17]

Yes I know it takes time, good to hear things will change, needed to hear that.

I asked myself that same question today. My surgery was on the 15th too. It hurts when anything passes thru and I'm ready for it to stop. I think once all the pain ends I will be happy I did it.. but for now. I'm not sure either

It's too early for me to answer, but with my RNY procedure only days away I've come to the point where I need to just look ahead. Yeah, granted, I did have my doubts, but I worked through that over the past 11 months. Thanks to the many postings by people here, I'm more encouraged that I'm making the right decision. I just need to look beyond the pain and adjustment period that'll follow for weeks post-surgery.

My surgery was on the 16th. And yes I think it’s normal to question. I had a really lousy morning... woke up in a lot of pain today and didn’t feel well... prob
Since i struggled since the day of surgery to get my liquids and protein in. Today ... I set a schedule and mostly stayed on track. I got in 42 g of protein ( a record for me) and feel so much better than I did this morning! Each day I notice I can get in more liquid and protein. While the guidelines are very important, I feel like my body is healing I have to listen to it. Hang in there and do a little more each day!

what you are feeling is normal ......It will pass.

I definitely understand you. I had my sleeve done on 12/12 & I am still emotional and do not feel like myself. I still have major regrets. This is so hard for me.

I had my surgery and was fine from then onward. I was just hormonal. I never left regretting any of it but the good news is that you will feel normal one of these days, I just can't tell you when.

When varies for each person who has had the surgery. I felt like myself, I just didn't feel like the "me" that could eat as much as I wanted, when I wanted and I embraced that. At first I missed it a lot but the whole point of the surgery for me was controlling that, amongst other things. ?

@ whey to go, when is your surgery day? Want to send good healthy thoughts your way. I'm a future RnYer myself, maybe within 6 weeks.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. This Monday's my big day. Six weeks ago, I was going though the daily exercise of watching my food intake and logging everything. What helped me a lot is that the daily routine became a habit and I'm now eating healthier. I hope your journey is going smoothly for you.
