3 Weeks Post Op And Sorry To Be Negative

[kayte819 95]

Are you 3 weeks out? I'm now 9 mos post op. The first 6 weeks I regretted my decision immensely. I couldn't eat ANYTHING, drinking hurt, I felt left out of every meal my family ate & the loss was slow & barely noticeable....and at 316 I was very, very discouraged. Cut to 9 mos later - I've lost 120#, my love of food has diminished, along w/ the role it played in my "socializing". I still go out to dinner, I still eat the things I like...just a looot less of them. I can enjoy a meal I love for 3 meals now. I wore a size 24 for months. My face looked thinner, but even when I'd lost 75# I felt like I couldn't tell. Then one day 22s fit, a week later, 20s, two weeks later, 18s. I currently wear a 16 or a 14 depending on brand, etc. 3 weeks is too soon to feel good for some of us. And even at 5 weeks I was on here complaining about the surgery & how I hated it. Now, I know it's the best decision I have ever made. Give yourself time. It's not a cliche that it takes time for our heads to catch up AND almost every single person stalls at 3 weeks. I stalled for 6 weeks then lost 15# overnight!! Hang in there!!
