2 Weeks Post-Op and feeling a little regretful?

[Honeybee17 65]

I'm 2 weeks out and wondering if anyone else had ever gone through the "regret" phase? I hope nobody criticizes me. I just want to know if this is common our of I'm alone. If you can't help me, pleaser don't comment anything negative or nasty. I don't want to feel worse. I don't know if it's because I miss eating like I used to or miss eating certain foods. Anyone ever go through this and if so, does the feeling go away?

Yes, I think most go through this, at least momentarily. The feeling does pass when you start to see results (at least it did for me). The worst for me was at about 1 week post-op (tears and everything!). Now I'm 3 weeks out and though not totally thrilled, I know that I'll feel better about it soon. I think you will too!

I've lost 19 lbs, but can't see it physically. My DM numbers are down. My neuropathy has stopped. But I still have this feeling of regret.

I am almost 4 weeks post op and still have buyers remorse at times. I really did the first 2 weeks. Now it's mostly because I'm so tired by afternoon and still have some soreness.

I'm 9 weeks out. I initially had regrets. Especially when I had to be readmitted 10 days after surgery. Now I'm down a total of about 50 pounds since surgery. I wouldn't go back if I could. I have gone from taking 2 shots per day and 4 pills a day to control my diabetes. It is completely under control. My PCP says he will take me off one of the two blood pressure meds I take around 60 pounds. This has been the best decision of my life. Just hold on.

So you still have soreness too? That's something I'm glad to know. It sends I'm also gassy a lot too. I take a bite, I'm gassy. I take a drink, I'm gassy. I'm hoping that ends eventually. As long as I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, I'll feel better about this whole process.

Thank you. I'm feeling a little discouraged now. My husband tries to make me feel better by pointing out that I lost 19 lbs. It's hard to get him to understand though.

Thank you. Its nice to be able to talk to others who understand and have been through this already. I try talking to friends who had our done and all they can say is things like "chew slowly" "don't do this" "don't do that", which I know! Of course I can't talk to them about this! They will Newberg understand what I'm feeling. Smh.

Yes! I had remorse as well. It was transient.

I'm 8 weeks out almost and still battle it here & there. I think for me reading others horror stories or about gaining all weight back in 4 years scared me. I know this was my last resort & attempt to lead a healthy life

I have the gassy part still. My son said I burp more than a baby. Lol

You're ahead of me by a week but I've definitely had my buyers remorse days. Especially when I was told I had to stay an extra day in the hospital. As soon as I got home I was still vomiting and crying into my toilet. My husband has been very caring and telling me it'll be ok. I think for me it's the pain from gas, and the fact that Water makes me nauseous. It's getting better day by day and hoping once I start on full liquids, my attitude improves.
