Am I the only one who regrets their Sleeve?

Crazy.. I did have some depression while waiting for my surgery.. but since I had it, I'm totally the opposite.. I feel AMAZING. I can run! I can bike faster than I used to.. I can be active.. Keep at it.. you will be able to eat more eventually.. Take this time to continue to change your habits.. I spent TEN years thinking about this surgery. I could lose 50 pounds during a year, but I always gained it back, plus a little.. I'm finally at the smallest weight of my adulthood that I can remember. I eat good food.. high quality, delicious food.< /p>

Do you have a family? 1st and foremost you made this decision based on your health or personal reasons. It sounds like you need to speak with your dr. . After reading your story all I saw was wanting to eat a full meal. Your on your way to a healthy you. 3 bites fills you

Up. Hang in there. Prayers to you

This is a great topic, thanks all for sharing. I'm sleeved on 5/19 and struggling some with the transitions from liquids, letting my brain dictate how much to eat and then throwing up, etc.. I was lucky not to have any real complications post op except for dehydration, so that went well. I'm having some of the mental issues, but I'm looking for my solution to dealing with them. I don't regret my sleeve decision, but I grieve for its necessity. But my weight was killing me at 394 lbs.

I look at it this way, if I had had stomach cancer, and the way to save my life was to under go this surgery, would I have made any other choice? No. This surgery for many of us is about saving our lives. You may be young, you may not have had the comorbidities yet ( but they were coming, I assure you). I had them all and I was expecting not to be alive in 5 years from 47..

So, once I get through denial, I can get angry and kick my own ass back into the gym.

So, I will pull up my big girl panties ( which seem to fit looser now), and figure out how to make this work so I can live... food is fuel @stephenhud..

3 weeks post op, 356 lbs..
