Anybody having regrets? Need a pep talk

I'm at the dreaded 3-4 week slowdown, but this isn't about that. I just am sort of regretting that I can't eat anything, or so little that my life seems to be centered around food. More than 3 tablespoons of food and I feel sick/nauseated, so I stick to that. Which means my stomach is so empty every 3 hours or so that I feel sick/nauseated in a different way. Last night I felt so bad I was just wishing I'd never done this. :(

Anybody got a pep talk? I could sure use one.

Someone told me this right after I had my surgery, and I'm glad they did: "the first month is the worst". It's so true. Just hang in there, and it will get better!

Your entire life will change for the better..not only physically but mentally, but also your confidence and this will empower you! trust me...I am working out 3 times a week, I love how my clothes look, size 4 jeans from size 12-14....I am happier full of life...not because I lost weight but because Ive changed as a person....I eat good, exercise, love my body, embrace myself, I get facials, started volunteering, becoming involved, planning trips and getaways....you don't change mentally and spiritually, you have to work on those things now that the NEW you has taken over....Roll with it...embrace it and keep on moving! Love yourself!

It’s gets so much better - hang in there! I’m at 6 months and eat almost a cup or 4 oz (depends on weight or volume).

Thank you, everyone. I appreciate it. Taking a deep breath and moving on.

To cheer myself up today, i tried on every item of clothing in my closet and packed up 3/4 of it to go to Goodwill! It's all too big/loose/baggy. So that was fun...

      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.
