I have to agree that it will get better. I think everyone (or most everyone) has issues with sipping and getting any volume down the first couple weeks. But what everyone is saying is true. I was sleeved on 8/13 and felt the same way, but once the lbs start coming off and you can fit in clothes you haven't even looked at in years, it is all worth it. Just know that it is major surgery, even though it may not feel like it, and you have to give yourself time to recover. Be patient with your body and vent here, we all know what it is like. I have found lots of books that really help, it may get your mind off the surgery too. Good luck!
