Buyers Remorse? Emotional?



Recommended Posts

Anyone out there have buyers remorse? I am second guessing myself, my decision and I am driving myself crazy. I feel lucky as I am 5 days post opt and have no pain am drinking enough to stay hydrated. I keep questioning if I am always going to feel dehydrated for the rest of my life ? Am I ever going to eat again? What have I done to myself? Did I take the easy way out? Did I try hard enough?

Totally normal! At a month out, you'll be telling people this was the best thing you've ever done! :) Its scary at first, but wonderful as the months go on.

Totally understand. I am 6 weeks out and I have felt that way since surgery. MAJOR regrets!!! Had so many complications. Now that feeling is starting to go away because i am getting on track and feel a little better. I have lost almost 60 pounds and my clothes are way toooooo big, down 12 sizes. I am now seeing a change but still have a hard time with seeing the fat me and not the smaller me. Just hang in there, once you start feeling better and get further along I think you will see things differently.

In time your regrets will fade. I had internal bleeding and a second surgery 5 days post op and told my surgeon I had major regrets about being sleeved. His response was that he was going to ask me the same question in 3 months .

He was right ... I'm so thankful I was sleeved.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
