Hello everyone
I had promise to Regina that I will post this. I had my surgery on 8/19 I have lost 38 lbs in 16 days. I am happy but had I few emotional problems. I never know how hard it is to give up food. I will return back to work on the 17 of this month. Just a little scared I don't want to hurt myself. I do alot of lifting. I am still on a liquid diet; but pat said that I could have some things from stage 3. I am having a hard time with dairy product. I have had that vomiting 2 times I hate that, I have had some regreting times why I did this to myself, But I keep on thinking it will get better with time I hope. :rolleyes: Just keeping my head up high that I will get though this. I would like to say thankyou to Regina for helping me with all the questions and conerns I had and for calling me to make sure that I am doing ok. :) :) :) :) gina

Gina,

How perfectly you have described what I believe all of us feel at one time or another! I am 15 months post-op, my 2 girls are 2 months out. During the first weeks, all 3 of us asked ourselves "what have I done to myself?"

Now, at the point when food cravings are minimal, hunger is absent, and weight loss is so abundantly obvious, my girls both say, "I'd do it again in a heartbeat!" (So would I!)

I am sure these feelings you have, which are NORMAL, will pass quickly! Come to group, talk about how you feel. Call me anytime you want to talk. 728-8628

We can ALL get through this together!!

See you soon!

Nanette
