Buyers remorse

[Dub 9,922]

I've had a few surgeries over the years........the days after each were sorta cruddy.

It's to be expected.

They were to repair torn or broken parts.

The WLS has more cerebral implications, though. Nothing physically was broken.....just how I chose to use it. It took a while to get my mind wrapped around the changes I'd just made and that a better life awaited me if I chose to support my surgeons efforts. The temporary aggravation of more liquid diet didn't help my spirits, but I knew it was just a short phase while my new stomach healed.

Fast forward a few weeks and my outlook was extremely positive. It's remained that way, too.

This surgery has deeper commitment of action and effort for me than a knee repair or some other routine patch up of an injury. This particular surgery just prolonged my life and improved the quality of it if I so chose to follow the simple instructions.

It gets better folks.

The first week or two are simply that.....a first week or two where you are healing.

Deep breaths and relax. You'll feel spectacular very soon.

I am only 10 days post op and have had serious buyers remorse. I am not doing the whole full liquid stage well. I hate sugar free anything, I get headaches from artificial sweetners. It doesn't help that my kids and husband are savoring things like pizza and cheese and crackers and anything else I cannot eat. I am sure this will pass ( at least I hope so) and I will be able to eat again, but I do not like this phase.

@nakole73 this will pass .... thank goodness it passes .... just a normal part of the process sadly.... it will get better !!!
