Topic: RE: Am I the only regretfull one?
Hang in there, girl!!! It gets soooo much better. I had mine a week before you did, and I had lots of back pain and congestion. AND... no weight loss whatsoever! My surgeon explained that because of the swelling and bruising, my body was retaining fluid to heal.
He was right! Now it is two weeks past my date, and 14 pounds came off.
Go ahead and have your pity party! It's part of the process... but I will bet that you will feel different in about a week. Keep your chin up!

Hang in there Kristi,
My pain is almost compelety gone. Just a tiny biy sore on the left side. But I am starting to see that I am babying myself and being over cautious. You should follow the paperwork about the diet plan given by Zare's office it is helpful. Due to the nerves that are temporaily dead in the in the new pouch you will not feel the fullness yet. measureing my food has really helped me. I am still on pured by use a 1/4 measuring cup. The goal is to feel satisfied and not full. I felt the same you did but now can see the positive changes in my life.

Oh, yes...me, too. I only spent 1 night in the hospital. Then we went back to the hotel for another night before driving home (for 6 hours). That night in the hotel was rough. I was extremely restless and got next to no sleep. I felt incredibly bloated. I had walked quite a bit in the hospital. While my husband slept, I fretted, thinking OMG WTF have I done. I'll never be able to consume all the liquids and protein or us small enough sips and bites. I was rather down in the dumps. It's been a couple of days now but I'm feeling better, more optimistic.
Topic: RE: Challenges so far?
Wow I feel like the same exact thing with all of yours...except the exercising thing, I am always wanting to go then when the time comes that i can go I dont want to! lol, I tend to catch myself grazing and I need to stop now, I find when I make my 3 year olds lunch, I pick at what she is eating...so my new Years is going to start off right and not get myself into the habits i was in before surgery, I have come to far to mess this up and I noticed it has just started this last 10 days so I know it isnt to late..

I agree with your 3. Number 4 hasn't hit yet but I'm sure it will.
Learning how to sip is really really tough for me.
One other thing I am struggling with is patience with myself. I can accept that other people are going through changes but I can't accept them with me. Every little mistake I make is a major event when it really should be what it is, a mistake. I am working very hard on being more patient and forgiving of myself.
