Regrets after surgery?



Recommended Posts

@@ecoreen94 I'm sorry you've been sick. Have you been nausea? Vomiting? Pain in chest/stomach....after eating? I was sleeved three weeks ago& I still feel tightness in my chest/stomach after I eat. My doctor told me to eat slower & gave me a stomach muscle relaxer as well. Seems like it takes me forever to finish eating certain foods. Don't regret everyone's body is different & it could just take time for your body to adjust to your new size stomach.

I wish I could go back in time, too.

I would like to do so so I could have had surgery much sooner in life.

Everything gets much better after the first couple of months.

Hang in there, I have not had regrets. I am a year out and down over 100 pounds. I had not expectations going in about anything and just lived one day at a time.

My sentiments exactly!!!!! I'm 3 weeks post op still adjusting but loving the challenge. VERY GASSY almost to the point of regurgitation when I eat too fast/much (still figuring out the amounts) but it's all worth it!!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
