I hate this

I'm sad to hear that you are having a tough time, it's really hard at first dealing with the discomfort and trying to do everything you are told to do.

The good news is that this will pass!

That's not to say that there will not be challenges ahead, but you have taken a really brave and positive decision which will ultimately change your life.

For now: take a breath! Just do your best to stay focused on getting in the fluids, you don't need to do everything at once, build up the Protein over the next days and weeks.

I am 8 weeks out and really the first 2-3 weeks were just about taking time to recover from surgery.

I was not able to take Vitamins until a couple of weeks ago.

You have the support of this community, we are here for you, you are not alone!

Hang on in there, believe in yourself, you can do this.

I just had this surgery and I feel like its the worst thing I've ever done. I'm 18 and I live with my parents. My mom just tells me to stop whining and both of my parents are eating whatever they want around me. Also' date=' I don't know how I'm gonna get all this Water in much less Protein, food or even Vitamins.. I'm like alone in this whole thing. none of my friends know either. I feel like I've made the biggest mistake in the world by having this surgery. )':[/quote']

Cj hang in there, I basically wrote the same thing you did a week into mine. I am now two weeks and two days pos op and it does get better. I still struggle getting fluids in as nothing taste right. It's a struggle but does get better. Keep reading this site.

I am 3 weeks out and it does get easier. You also have to remember that you chose this and everyone else is not going to completely change their eating habits because of your choice. It would be great if everyone was sensitive to your situation, but unfortunately they aren't going to. Relax and just concentrate on staying hydrated at this point.
