Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with my results but, and this is the big one, I still have regrets, I didn’t know I’d have to take the stomach enzymes with everything I eat for life, due to complications this is me now having to swallow tablets as I eat with everything even snacks, I have malabsorption of fat and pancreatic bile and will be need to be treated for life for these issues. The only way I will stop loosing weight is by taking the enzymes to help with absorption. Without them I will be running to the loo constantly.
I wasn’t prepared for problems afterwards and now my anxiety has me thinking about what my life and care will be like when I’m really old and can’t monitor these things myself. I know I have to deal with these feelings but it’s overwhelming. Please reassure me I’m not the only one. I feel like I’ve sabotaged my body and now I have to deal with dibilitating side effects for the rest of my life. And no I’m not exaggerating here, I speak to a nutritionist, I see a GP, this is my reality.
