Regretful feelings three weeks post op....help

 I appreciate the encouragement. My doctor's team has not been as helpful as a few of you have been! 

 I am in Pensacola.  If you are able - come to the support group meeting at Baptist Hospital with Dr. Friedman.  We meet the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 5:30pm.  

 Even if I saw the doctor at sacred heart? You know who I am talking about. Did you have surgery also?

Yep... come on.  They don't ask where you had surgery and nobody really "cares" where.. just there for support.  And I know the staff is more personable and approachable  ;)

I am 11mths out. I started with your surgeon but pretty quickly changed to Dr. Friedman.

 I'll check it out...it couldn't hurt:)

 Yes, it is normal.  I was more mad at myself for getting to the point that I weighed 300# and that I had to do this....I used to say I never thought losing weight would make me feel so miserable.  I'm only 3 months out now...and I will say getting your fluids in and protein made a WORLD of difference in how I felt...but it took me until about week 8 to be able to do it. 

 Thank you... I guess it is one day at a time for me then! Please give any more advice you may think of.

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and I too have had the same feelings.  Somedays I think to myself why in the hell did I do this to myself.  I could have done this on my own.  I miss going to dinner with my friends and family.  Then I remember I didn't do anything to help myself before this, I just kept getting bigger and bigger.  Yes, I've lost weight on my own and then it all came back plus some!  So I know in my heart I did the right thing it's just going to take time to get used to my new life and figure out other things to do besides eat.  Hang in there, we will make it!

I am almost 3 months post-op and I still have these feelings of being inadequate. I have a difficult time getting 60 grams of protein and the 64 oz of fluid each day. I can tell you that it does get better and I have noticed a big difference when I am able to get all of my protein in.

Hang in there and know that we are all here for you.

I second the "try to get your protein in" advice.  Not only does it make you feel better I think it helps you to heal faster.
