I feel like crap...

[DenaeH 7]

I recently just had my surgery on October 24, 2017 and I feel like crap. I have no appetite whatsoever, it’s hard for me to just drink Water and I am constantly taking my pain meds which basically causes me to sleep all day. When I was in the hospital, I felt great! But now that I’m home, I just am starting to regret my decision to get the surgery so young (I’m 20 by the way). I just wish I would’ve waited because now, I hate the body I am in right now...

Hi there, I'll be having my sleeve on Nov 13. The way you're feeling what now is on of my biggest concern too. But i have some co-workers who had done the surgery, they told me it will pass. Just think that you had the surgery because you were tired of how you were and this is one step for you to be better. Btw make sure you're moving a lot, cuz blot clot can be form.

Hang in there I am on day 14 post op. I too regretted getting the surgery done, but now I am happy I did. I have lost 25 lbs and feel much better, Healthwise, than I did. I too found that walking made the pain go away much sooner. Any questions please let me know.

I am 10 weeks out and I felt like that early on as well. I thought what have I done! I think it's perfectly normal to feel like that after a big surgery. My surgeon even explained to me in medical terms why you feel down and have a little post op depression even. It gets better trust me. I had WLS surgery when I was 20 which in those days was stomach stapling. I was no prepared for it at all and I blew it big time. Now at 57 after a lifetime of staying fat and getting diabetes etc I've had to have a bypass. You can do this at your age. It's a lifestyle change but you have time on your side to make it happen. Good luck with your journey!

Right now one of my biggest challenges is learning to take very small bites and slow down. The pain reminds me that I have to do it this way. Same with drinking fluids, small, small, small, which is what my ultimate goal is to be! Hang in there my surgery twin, take walks but don't over do it and make sure to always have water with you.

What you are feeling is normal. “Buyers remorse” is very common. My wife experienced it. I did not really experience it that bad. I do miss food very much. I am down 70 pounds in roughly 12 weeks, so that is pretty sweet.

Thank you guys so much for sharing your feelings as well. I’m actually feeling a lot better and I’m glad I got the surgery. I am hitting a stall right now but I’m going to start working out again and hopefully that’ll push me out of it. I’m down 36 pounds from my high weight and i couldn’t be happier.
