Will these feelings of regret go away?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, it's been two days since I've had my band put in and I have all these crazy feelings of regret! i'm starting to feel like I rushed at doing this instead of really thinking about it. I have these thoughts of having it taken out immediately. Will my feelings change? Is there anyone else who is felt this way or am I the only crazy person.

Normal! Don't worry. Post surgery is an emotional rollercoaster of a time. Follow directions, cut yourself a break, stay off the scale, and before you know it, you will start to drop the weight and feel amazing.

Your whole life is about to change for the better. We are here for you!

three days after my surgery I was wondering what in the world was I thinking. It was scary to think about the changes I would be making and to not be able to eat like a lumberjack anymore. But after 2 years I can say it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I am happier and healthier than I have been in decades. Hang in there it will get better and you will adjust to your new way of life and be so happy.

I remember looking like I had been in a knife fight and now, less than a year and a half later, I can hardly find the scars. A couple have completely disappeared. All the anasthesia and any medication you may be taking can bring up a lot of feelings -- hard to process them when you're in discomfort from the surgery. Take it easy, be gentle with yourself and walk as much as you can -- hope you feel better soon!

The 1st few days I felt like I had been hit by a truck, but by the end of the week I was feeling fine ! Give yourself some time to recover from the surgery (it's A LOT of stress on your mind and body), and then watch what happens !! The weight will start coming off, the compliments will start coming in, and you'll be so happy you made the decision to get a stronger, healthier body !! No regrets here ! Good luck !!

Thank you all, I guess I can say I am feeling better today. Not as emotional as I have been. I am however starving! That is one thing I really miss, being able just to go and eat like a normal person.

      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?

      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.
