Hi everyone! I’m 3 months post-op DS

Welcome!!!

Reading this was exactly what I needed to hear. I THINK I’m past the crying/buyer’s remorse phase, but I still seem to get moody and irritable sometimes, have more acne than usual, random spotting when my period’s not due (sorry if that’s TMI). I didn’t know if my hormones are still kind of out of whack? I guess I thought by 3 months out that my body would have figured things out, so I wondered if that’s normal. I feel like I did when I was pregnant in that I read everything I could find to prepare myself for parenthood, but once my kiddo was here, I forgot everything! lol Same thing with the surgery!

It takes longer than three months. Really it does and remember, your body is losing weight too, tons of changes. I did not have acne, but I had this itchy back thing and nothing made my back stop itching. Then, one day it stopped.

Personally, I though the first 3 months were hell, the next three were better, but not great. It was a full 7 months before I was like, well I got this and it's getting better, and 13 months before I was really myself.

Now, 20 months later: BEST THING I EVER DID. Happy, skinny, and life is so much better.

hang in there.

Welcome! I'm a couple of months ahead of you (11/8/17) and I feel so much better now than I did at 3 months out. Hang in there!

Three to six months seems to be the turning point. I was one who made that turn around 3 months. Had more energy than I knew what to do with!

I'm really glad to hear others had trouble with the first few months and that things get better. I'm almost a month out and still exhausted. Eating is hard. Taste aversions abound. I definitely see the value in the 30/60/90 g by 30/60/90 days thing now!

I had so many issues with foods, smells, textures. I still can't eat grilled chicken which is a favorite. It does get better. Not quiet at 3 months out and I feel like myself again. Energy is finally coming back and I can actually resume my previous activities. (which are not a lot! LOL)
