Jan 13th was my surgury day

[Tlicous51 2]

I had my surgery on the 13th. I am doing pureed foods and they are gross. I am I that phase where I regret it even though I have already lost 30 pounds. I regret letting myself get to where the surgery was a viable option. I am not really hungry physically I am mentally hungry. I just wish I could eat foods that I miss.

Don't let your mind play those games with you. Having to get surgery doesn't make you a bad person. We all need help sometimes.

It sucks. There's no two ways about it. But it will get better and so much easier, I promise! A couple of months from now, this will be a distant memory and you will feel normal again!

Thanks everyone for your support. I am doing better with the mental hunger. I am working my best to get past these pureed foods. I only have 5 more days to go on them. I am down 40 pounds already and am back to work. I am getting through it and when I look at my 7 month old daughter I remember why I had the surgery done. It was so I knew I would be able to be around for her for a lot longer than if I would have waited and done nothing.

The first 3 months post-op I think are the absolute worst! I was sleeved on December 12th, and I am just getting to the point where I can tolerate more regular foods. I still haven't been brave enough yet to try salad with raw vegetables, even though I have been cleared to have it. I introduce new foods slowly and one at a time. It's almost like Christmas or your birthday each time you introduce a new food that your tiny tummy likes and tolerates.

Hang in there! Just as everyone says, it really does get much, much better! It may seems hard to believe right now, but before you know it you'll be smiling pretty again.

Best of luck to you!
