Why, Why, Did I Choose This??

Hi~ Had my sleeve Thursday by choice and now I am complaining because I feel like poo and I want to get up and get going like normal and I want something "NORMAL" to eat!!  Yep, that's me....on my pity pot today!!  I am really ticket at myself for doing this right now.  I truly don't know if I'm going to feel different later on.  I am truly irked at myself!  Bringing this pain on myself....asking for this....how stupid am I!!!  Really wish I would not have had surgery!

Totally normal feelings at this point. You WILL feel differently eventually.

Trust Alana - she had big time buyer's remorse at the same time after surgery you did!

I had a REALLY hard time but my buyers remorse only lasted a day or two!  I knew it was hard but worth it and I didn't regret my choice! 

Hang in there! The first week was the hardest for me. It will get easier. The food game is BY FAR the hardest! I had no idea I had such food issues until after the surgery. I didnt even eat bad before, but its the little things I would just "take 1 bite" of that I realize now were hurting me. Take the pain meds and sip sip sip as much as you can. Isopure is a liquid and also has protein in it for the days you just cant handle protein shakes. By the end of week 2 I was begging my Dr to let me have soft foods. I ended up sick and barely getting foods in and Ill be 4 weeks tomorrow. Now Im eating them, they are not nearly as good as I thought they would be!

It is normal to feel that way when you are feeling less than stellar. Plus the hormones are flooding your system as the fat melts. Try to take the long term view although I know it's hard right now.

Hang in there. You won't even remember how hard it is one month from now. This feeling goes away. Good luck.

Yup, hormones and just generally the aftereffects of having surgery.

I"m not adding anything to new to what the previous posters said.  I just wanted you to know that there is one more person out there who felt the way you feel now.  They are right, this too shall pass.  You'll look back at this post and just shake your head.  You'll be okay.

Absolutely normal. 

Postop day 4 was the day I actually got tough with myself and started taking charge again -- cooked dinner for the family and generally decided I was getting back in the swing of things. 

The first three weeks suck mightily.  Just settle in know they are going to be crap, then it will all turn around.  Seriously, you just had major surgery and you can't even go to your go to thing for comfort.  Food.  this too shall pass, unfortunately you have to struggle through it day by day.  Good luck.
