I'm 1 Month Out Today. Regrets?

I had a few issues in the beginning right out of surgery with breathing and low potassium.  And after getting home I felt like total hell, but I handled it ok.
I'm off both diabetes meds and will find out about the rest of my meds towards the end of January.
I know the kidney one is a life long med. sadly...
I have already lost 33 lbs and several inches.   My tummy looks like a prune wooohoooo lol  So sexy

I have had the foamies  several times and puke every dang time I do and I've dumped once.(damn NSA choc milk!)  
I'm learning! lol  I stay tired and am working harder on eating my 3 meals a day.  The treadmill is my new bestfriend!
But do I regret the surgery??  Nope.  I never expected it to be easy.  Nothing worth while ever is.  
I spent several years lurking on this board.  I've seen happiness and I've seen tears.  I thank all of the "grads" because whether you knew it or not, you have taught me a lot.

Goodluck everyone and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Just a lil note to warn all pre and post ops. GET YOUR PROTEIN IN EVERYDAY!!!  I have done rather crappy with mine since day 1 and I am paying dearly with VERY slow weight loss, major hair loss, and all out feelin like shit!  PLEASE!!!!  Follow your program's rules!!

Sounds like you are doing good.  Wow 33 lbs is great.  Stay focused follow the rules and the time flies by and the pounds will fall off.  This is a tough time of year but I remember my first few months, I was so determened to prove to everyone that I was doing great.  I followed my diet to a "T".  Its so easy to take a pinch here or there but once you dump you never want to do it again.  At 2 years out I have pushed the limit.  Dumping is a very humbling experience. Keep up the GREAT WORK Jane
ON 10/17/05  I LANDED ON OZ NEVER GOING BACK UP IN THE DAMN
TORNADO AGAIN.   BEWARE OF THE WITCHES!
