PLEASE tell me it get's better... trying to hard not to be regretful!
It gets so much better! I was very regretful too! But 2 years later (tomorrow) I wish I would have done it much sooner!! You are a newbie and you had major surgery! You will go through ups and downs, you will learn so much and you will become amazed at the transformation, as others will be! Try to relax, you are doing just fine! I almost died after the surgery and ended up in ICU for a few days, then hospitalization. All I did was cry. Everyone thought I was a looney-bird. Honestly, your guts have been rerouted, so hormones are interrupted as well. I had severe constipation and a few times almost passed out on the toilet! I got a piece of meat stuck and it wouldn't go down most of the night. I had a point where I kept vomiting or having severe dry hesves for no reason. Bad acne! I'm 53. Dry skin, developed eczema. But for everything else I've gained, I would do it again! No knee pain, no fear of walking just a block. Now I get up and go and walk everywhere! No more plus size clothing! I wear juniors, size 9 pants/jeans/dresses, skirts, dropped a size in shoes - was really a 9 but could fit some 8 1/2's now 7 or 7 1/2! Small size tops. Rings falling off! No more neck fat! Nobody believes I'm 53 at all! They think I'm about 35! I can run/jog and it takes so much time for me to get out of breath. I can tie my shoes without almost passing out! I feel in control and confident! So keep going dear lady, it's hard right now, and Yes there is a great big rainbow awaiting you! Relax, it will be fine!! Be blessed.
