I am 6 days post op and I feel awful and lots of regret. I felt awesome when I left the hospital and after taking pain meds felt horrible. I've been to er twice for iv to rehydrate and today I'm trying to stay on top of my fluids. I have a gnawing feeling in my stomach which I assume is hunger. almost thinking this was not worth it at all. somebody tell me this all goes away and. I will have my life back.

Thank you all for the great advice. I am past my melt down stage and after 16 days I am back to work. I am not one to lounge and if I act miserable I know I will feel miserable. So back to worm I went. I feel great maybe a little tired rundown feeling but I expect that due to lack of calories. I'm getting clever with food choices since I'm still on soft and scared of my pouch leaking. I'm Dow. 25 pounds since the surgery. All in all I'm glad I did it but I sure do miss guzzling water. Thank you for your support!

Thank you all for the support. I am feeling better but the eating part is making me crazy. I am not sure when I'm full. I'm eating so little that maybe I'm just not getting that sensation. At 9 days out I'm still on full liquid but once I am told I can eat soft food I'm not sure what to eat. To make it worse I'm only taking two weeks off of work so I go back next week.
