Best thing to do... find something to occupy your time with, to distract you from the doubt/regret. Everyone heals at different rates, but just remember that everyone heals. The pain and issues you are feeling right now *WILL* go away. Yes it's tough, but it's very much worth it. Stay strong!

First 3 days are the days of regret after that it gets way better, it’s the best decision I have made and thinking back my only issue is why I didn’t do it sooner.

My advice start walking and don’t stop you’ll feel much better, And as soon as you are clear to start the gym 2 weeks from now for cardio do it

I had my surgery Monday and the regrets happened right away. i totally get it. For me, it was thinking what did I just do to my body, the pain was intolerable. Only on day 3 out (yesterday) did I start to feel better and move around a lot more. Today, day 4 out of surgery I am doing about 3700 steps a day, pain is much better, consuming my liquids and clear foods. Stay strong and move and get those fluids in you.

I was in considerable pain for 3 weeks then nothing. It gets better. Walk, use that stupid spiro-whatever-breathing-meter, and take whatever pain meds you need.

Safe Journey!

@newmeinfla GIRL, you got this! Had my sleeve revision on the 25th. Can't stress enough to walk! That gets the gas/air bubbles out. Do not lay down after drinking...that will only make it worse and use medication when you need to! It's a rough uphill but just follow your new routine and you'll feel a bit better everyday! Rooting for you!

Same here sleeve in the 25th...the gurgling is the worst part. Praying that ends soon. Today is the first day that I have even been close to reaching my Fluid goal.

It's a process and everyone is different
I'm 5 months post and 50 pounds down
I still get the gurgling stomach. I keep Tums on my car, purse, and beside my bed. Take it slowly, don't worry about heavy exercise right now. Concentrate on learning your new eating habits. Oh yeah I still have slight discomfort for the surgery sites
Hang in there and take the pressure off of yourself

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
