Today is my 6 week post op mark. I have lost around 29 pounds but have gained 4 of that back. I think I have lost that same 4 pounds about 5 times already. I am feeling very frustrated and as much as I hate to say it, I regret having the surgery. I feel exhausted all the time, I can't get enough fluids in me so I tend to stay a little dehydrated, and regardless of what I eat every time I eat my stomach hurts. Has anyone else experienced this? Will it ever get better? Will I ever not regret having the surgery?

I am drinking Gatorade and am taking my vitamins. The last day or two I seem to be tolerating things a little better. Although I did vomit for the first time the other night since coming home. I do not tolerate pizza. Lol Yesterday I was able to eat a very small amount of steak cut up into very tiny pieces along with some broccoli and sweet potato. I was really surprised I did as well with it as I did. I am, however, having a lot of trouble with heartburn again. I guess if it's not one thing it's another. Still wondering if I did the right thing by having the surgery though.

After about 2 bites I get that burp feeling too and lots of pressure. I'm not eating a lot, hardly eating anything. But every time I do eat I get that feeling and am miserable for several hours. It makes me want to not eat at all!!!

Thank you all for your support. I will try the Gatorade and see if that helps. I have been able to go to the gym and work out and it does make me feel better. I guess I'm just feeling overwhelmed right now. Again, thanks for your encouragement.
