Any regrets

[Banned member 320]

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I wish I would of been open to the idea and possibly had it done at a lower BMI.

Hi everyone' date=' I'm 6 days out n I can't lie the 2nd day I was like OMG! What have I done? N yesterday was a very tough day for me. I cried alot n so did my hubby because he didnt want to eat without me. They had chinese food n it was so hard to accept that I couldnt eat it. This liquid phase is no joke. I'm tired of Soup n Jello but hey this is what I signed up for. N I know soon I will start feeling n looking better. Good Luck! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Hi Ylopez - don't worry - I was sleeved July last year and things get much easier! You are right about the liquid phase!

No regrets here! I think we all have OMG moment but it doesn't last once you come to terms with the new way you will eat. You will eventually be able to eat with your husband and it will be your new normal - you will both be so happy when you see the weight coming down!

I think it's pretty normal for you to feel that "OMG, what did I do?" feeling for a little bit. It's a major life change. From people more than 6 months out, it seems like most people are VERY happy with their decisions. I am looking forward to being in a place where I feel the same way!

I regret it. I have lost more weight on my own in the past than with this "tool". I don't eat bad things, only Protein, zero carbs, low calories. I have NO HUNGER at all. I like that part but my scale is not moving. I went from 313 to 290 and then the scale jumped to 295 over night and won't move. I'll now have to drag my 6 kids to a gym so I can work out to try to break this stall and feel like I haven't just wasted 6000.00 dollars

Hi Ginny

I know how frustrating it can be when it feels like you are doing all the right things and not seeing the results. You might find that you are not actually eating enough or eating regularly enough. Try eating something every 2-3 hours - even if you don't feel hungry. I am not sure how long your stall has lasted but it sounds like your body has gone into famine. It can only hold on for so long before it starts to burn off the weight. You are probably right that exercise will kick start the weight loss but I would give it a bit more time - taking 6 kids to the gym would be enough exercise on it's own! Keep going and don't give up on it yet!

What you should of done is handle it like a mature adult which means you should of grabbed the plate full of food and throw it against the wall and tell them if they wanna eat then they better be locked in their rooms with fans blowing the smell out the house. I mean that's what I would of done. Lol actually felt like that a lot. I lived in my room when they ate. It was torture!

Omg - roflmao!
