I'm a week out also, and I'm seriously reconsidering what I've done too. However, I know this is normal, at least for me. That whole buyer's remorse thing... For some reason after I woke up, everything tastes terrible! (I need to do further investigating about this... I have my suspicions about the trouble...) I see news stories of people that have lost a bazillion pounds with string and tape! (Ask me how!) Or they become these super athletes and suddenly start running full 26 mile marathons… And I think hey! I could do that!

But I couldn’t. If I could have lost the weight on my own, I would have. If I could have kept if off, I would have. But I couldn’t, so I now have the Band.

I'm not terribly happy with the protein shakes, but then, even water doesn’t taste right….

I’m tired of the aches and pains from the surgery. I’m cranky. I’ve got the period from hell. I’m back in exile. Did I mention I was cranky?

But thing is, I knew most of this stuff coming in, and I get to move to mushy foods April 1st.

I WANT A CHEESE BURGER!!!!!!

But as much as I want that cheese burger, I want to be thinner more. I want more energy! I want less medication! I want to get on an airplane confident that I’ll never need a seatbelt extender! I want more boys at college to flirt with me!

I know my DH went through this depressed stage too. (except maybe the part about the boys at college flirting with him…) I know some of the members here have had serious doubts about getting the band, initially after the fact. So I guess it is normal.
