But of course.... (warning: longer than usual... yikes!)
Dear Whatachief:
Well... I had done a lot of research before my surgery and had heard about "Buyer's Remorse" but was convinced I wasn't going to experience this because I KNEW ABOUT IT!
I Knew WHY I was having this surgery and I wanted to get healthy!
even so....
after surgery perhaps about a week or more out- I started to wonder...
especially since I was in pain...& when i got home from the hospital I was 18pounds heavier than when i went in!!!! so WHY did I have surgery??? I felt that I could have done it one more time "the hard way".... I felt like i took the easy way out.
I think this phenomena could be compared to post-partum depression.
WHAT? WHY?
Well- we hear about it.... we know it happens... it's a joyous occassion- nothing to be depressed about ... Yet women experience this... some to greater degrees than others....
BUT.... what about the outcome.... well.... you get yourself a sweet baby - or you have surgery and result is you get to be HEALTHY...
IT ISN'T EASY...
But it is worth it....
ENDURANCE... get past this tough part... and you will succeed.
Know that you may experience these feeling from time to time but it becomes easier to deal with as you see the weight falling off.
the weight will fall off... you will be able to drink more than A sip at a time.... just give it time.... hang in there WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!!
littlethings made me happy.... watching my little birdie icon approach the first hurdle and fly over it..... look at my little birdie now...
Your icon will be over on the right side this time next year!!!
just think how happy you will be then!!!
keep in touch!!

Topic: RE: Good Morning Everyone... What's your plan for the week?
So glad you're talking about this my darling. So glad you are on your way back to your lowest weight. I just can't stress it enough how important it is to hang on when you get it. So glad you're watching out and keeping yourself in control before you let anything get out of hand. Some days I know it would be easier to just let go but in the end it is far more beneficial to put a little effort in every day instead of having to put tons more effort in at a later date because it is harder to get off if you gain back.
Let me say again...thank you JEllen...you are the WLS Success cheerleader, bestest mom, and all around wonderful supporter. You are AWESOME!!!!!!!!
hugs, Y

My angelette Whatachief and I have been talking this morning and she's feeling really down and anxious...having that buyer's remorse. Could you guys please share how you felt like that and how long it was before you started feeling better. She needs to hear how she will feel better soon OK? Give her some positive vibes and reinforcement please. I know she'll be better soon but it would really help if she heard it from others. Thanks in advance!

Plan for the week?
Yes... plan. I had strayed from my plan & it caused me to get off track.
I was enjoying myself- letting myself go a little wild with my choices.
But now that I've seen the folly of my ways... I'm pleased to say... I seem to be back on track & THAT FEELS GOOD!
this morning I'm almost back down to my lowest weight and heading toward goal AGAIN.
So... if you have strayed remember its not too late to get our
"so called...REWARDS" under control... WE control them.... don't let them control us.
ENJOY your journey!
