Buyer's Remorse

Hi . . .

I'm 7 days post-op and still feel a little nervous.  Sometimes I look at myself and realize that I made a wise decision, sometimes I feel bad that I wasn't able to loose the weight without surgery.

I know that I'll feel better when I loose more, but right now I'm worried that my surgery is more than I will be able to deal with. 

Anyone wake up after surgery and ask themself - What the heck did I just do to myself?

Thoughts like that took a few weeks to fade for me.  By week 3, after the weight loss was plainly evident and I had a better grip on what I was going through, all regrets faded away.  I'm two months out, now, and haven't had a regret in weeks, even during the occasional "oopsie" when I get a piece of chicken stuck halfway down....

Thank you for your encouragement.  As you can see from the time stamp of my post, the anxiety has been causing a certain amount of insomnia.  I think I'd feel better with at least one good night's rest.

Your thoughts are quite common. Wait 'til you start to feel better and see some progress, they'll pass. Chin up , Baby..sip, sip, sip tha****er and walk, walk, walk!

From your line chart, you've done really well!  Congratulations!  Do you feel as though regular water is the best drink?  How about lo cal flavored waters like Propel or Crystal Lite?  I'm having trouble gagging down plain water.

Thanks!

I'm 6.3 215 now was 6.2 320 if my memory serves me right :). I work out 5x a week for 2 hours. I have an issue with my stomach, but that can be corrected with cosmetic surgery!  I'm4 month post op. Hope it helps

Thanks. I have done pretty well and am very pleased. I struggled w/ plain water. I found Crystal Lite was decent to add to the water. Or I'd drink it slightly frozen like a slushy.

oh yes brother...you are right on schedule...I hated that feeling..but it did not last long...plaease stay in touch

Thanks for the response.  I was a little unsure about posting, but the remarks from everyone have been quite encouraging!

Honestly I felt the same way. "What did I do to myself" Time makes it better!!!! Hang in there in a couple of weeks you will be good as new :)
