Why would you want to be like everyone else?!

Good luck! We'll see you over on the post-op forum!

It's okay to be nervous. Eyes on the prize! Good luck! See you over on the post-op forum!

Is this normal? You bet it is! Lots of us experienced regret. Soon you're going to start feeling better. Weight is going to start coming off, you're going to start fitting into smaller clothes, people will notice. That feeling of regret will fade away. You'll reach a point when the only thing you'll regret is not doing this sooner. Congratulations on your surgery! Good luck!

I've never met a person who was "perfect" preop. I know I wasn't. Do the best you can & use the advice to try different shakes.
If you don't eat anything as you claim, it's possible you're still overweight because your body is in starvation mode & slowing down your metabolism. It seems counter to lose weight by eating more, but it may help.
Good luck.

Great tip! Using a smaller fork makes you take smaller bites. Eating with chopsticks when possible also limits how much we put in our mouths at a time too. Good stuff!

Forgive yourself and move on, try to avoid it in the future. It's not the WORST thing you could've eaten, right? You'll do better from now on Always, always carry your healthy snacks! it's the thing that keeps me on track 7 months later!

There is no best brand. Good luck!

I'm very sorry for your losses. One upside is you're being battle tested. There will be difficult moments before & after surgery. When those happen, remember that if you survived what you're surviving now, you'll survive again. Good luck!

You got this!

I'm grateful to be home, with my unfiltered internet access, lots to read, the fact that the binder my surgeon's office gave me doesn't say that I must wait to start the puréed stage of the diet (though I will call their office tomorrow to confirm).
And the fact that since Sunday, I lost 3,8 kg (or 8,3 lbs)!

Congratulations!

That's great that you have a community to support you!

Nearly three years post surgery, I still have trouble getting enough Water. Crystal Light helps me a lot, though. Good luck!

Try keeping your beets but decreasing other carbs. Good luck!

Good luck to you! See you over on the post-op surgery board!

Believe it or not, soon. I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. You don't deserve it. Good luck!

Please don't. I learned one of the things that inflated my stomach quickly was filling it up by chugging. I'm nearly three years post surgery & chugging is no longer a thing for me. Sip, sip, sip endlessly. I know it sucks, but it's either this or pain & stomach inflation. Good luck!
