Does anyone regret it?



Recommended Posts

I have regretted it almost everyday since I had it done on the 20th. Between the pain, having issues getting my Protein in, and now becoming lactose intolerant (which ive been told is a rare but possible side effect). Im hoping it gets better but yes right now I really do regret it.

No don't regret it I had a tough recovery for 2 months I was in and out of the hospital for dehydration because I wasn't able to eat or drink . I'm also lactose intolerant now and I wasn't before. But I'm 7 months out now and I went from 326 to 209 and I have 59 more pounds to go. Stay strong you'll get through this.

Get some almond breeze almond milk. I haven't had my surgery but I gave it up about a year ago because it gave me horrendous diarrhea. (Ice cream too:/) almond milk is really good and had good Protein too. I thought of it this way, your drinking another species milk, we usually tolerate it but really is it something we should drink? Especially with all the hormones and stuff we put in it. I'm far from a vegetarian but I really don't like milk anymore.

I am three weeks our and there are times where I ask myself what did I do. Overall, I dont regret it because I know every day will be a little bit better. I know this is from a while ago but I hope you are feeling better! :)

When I opened my eyes I was regretting it a lot!! I even wished if I was dead in the surgery!!!! I kept it all inside coz my family was opposing it and I fought to get it done! Day after day I felt better, and I'm glad I did it, although sometimes I regret it coz I'm not able to eat a lot! And watch my tv programs with a big pack of Pringles and cola ???? but I remind my self that I did it to put an end to those bad habits that made me fat in the first place!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
