Topic: RE: Does anyone wish they had never gone through WLS?
There are times I do. Really there are a lot of those times. Everyday I have to remind myself that I would be dead right now if I hadn't had done it.  But it does weigh heavy on my heart at time!
So yes there are momments I wish I had never gone through with this.
But I am trying to work thru it everyday.

Cheers
Ron Lester


P.S.  The key is to take each day as it comes and try to be as postive as you can!

Yes take a breath....
When the weight starts falling off you will be glad that you had the surgery. Yes it does still bother me at times I can't have this or that, BUT I probably would not live as long if i had not had the surgery. I do eat out but you have to be very careful and i did not even try that for a while after surgery.I did SF cookies for me this year and it was nice I did not feel so left out.
I think you were helping future health problems, it was not all vane.
These feelings are NORMAL you are having and please keep coming and talking about them.......
We are here for you.

Sweetie, you don't sound dumb at all.  The emotions one goes through after surgery is tough, that is why we are here so you can have comfort that this to shall pass.  I'm glad you were able to get out and about yesterday.

Just take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself.

Take a deep breathe, it WILL be ok.  The initial shock on the body is tough.

Last night I was feeling this is the worse thing I could have ever done. My RNY was 12/15, nothing is normal anymore. I can't go out and eat and drink beer with my boyfriend, I can't have sex right now,  I want to eat want I want and go exercise it off I guess. I wanna go out drinking, and have rough sex if I want too, I don't wanna be told to take it easy, you just had surgery, or no your not going out this weekend.
Belive me I thought of this surgery for 2 years, it wasn't a wake up and do it thing. I lost 152lbs waiting to get the surgery and went in Monday at 185, I want my ultimate goal of 115, but is it really worth all this misery and unhappiness.
I wanna bake and eat Christmas cookies with my daughter and have the normal holiday stuff like every year. I know it will be more normal next year but today I'm really regereting this and I didn't know where else to rant.  I would love to say I did this for my health, but other than a major yo-yo dieter, I had nothing wrong with me except a slightly elevated cholosterol level. So it was all for vanity and self-esteem boost, which I know once I start feeling better will make this all worth it. Just had to get this out this morning, before I had to pay for some Saturday psych appt, and that just would have been $$$$$ . Ok I guess I'm done, thank you for listening!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!! Watch out for those grumpy last minute shoppers!!!!

Topic: RE: I am getting tired of the complications...when will it stop
What you are feeling is ok, don't discount the concern, fear, regrets you are feeling.  I have been on of the fortunate ones to not have any complications, food aversions to speak of or even the vomiting and slimming so many have; I count my blessings everyday. 

Even with no complications the long-term affects of WLS and what it does mentally can be quiet trying at times.

I wish you the best and hope the complications stop for you.  Please share your concerns and story because those doing their research need to know the TRUTH it isn't always glory and praise about WLS and no one should go into it without knowing everything that could potentially happen, even further out people can and do have complications.
