You will feel better soon. you shouldn't be in a lot of pain though have you spoken to your surgeon about it ? Regret is common the early stages I had very intense regret for a few months but it got less and less eventually and now at 10 months out I have no regrets.

Ive tried calling the nursing team but no answer so have left them an answer machine message asking them to contact me asap

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

WLS has changed my life and the lives of my family, as I'm a better mother and wife as a result of being healthy!

No regrets. Eating and drinking (needing to wait) has posed a few challenges, but so far not to the level of regret. I would do it again in a heart beat.

I am on day 9 post op. I hate everything lol. Had to stay in hospital for 5 days so just starting over on the Clear Liquids. I'm tired of liquids. I feel hungry at times. I want food at times. Haven't weighed myself. Go for my first follow-up Monday.

I had to stay in hospital 6 days as I had problems with nausea and vomiting. It was caused by swelling and took a few months to settle. I had a huge struggle to get the right dose of medication as well. That took about 6 months.

At bit like giving birth, I have forgot the worst parts of this and am overjoyed with the surgery. I hope you get to this place too and see the satisfaction I have found

I'm six days post-op, and I don't think I regret it. The day I was dismissed from the hospital, they stopped my blood pressure and diabetic medications. That's huge! But since then, my sugar has been low, and my pressure has been low once or twice, which is weird. I'm just wondering if all my problems will reverse or if my body is trying to find my new homeostasis.

I've been on liquids only for nearly a month now, and that's getting old. But no soreness, and I didn't experience any gas pain at all, even in the hospital, probably due to my unique circumstances. I've had a bit of trouble sleeping and have been a bit lightheaded.

Lastly, I thought getting in Protein would be a breeze, but in reality, it's far more challenging than I thought. I never knew how much I truly disliked Protein Shakes until I had to drink 3-5 daily for 30 days. I look forward to eating again, even if it is mush. Anything not sweet, anything I can use my jaws on, LOL 😂.

I am moving to regular food off off soft. I've tried garlic chicken mushroom pizza. Scraping it off the crust, measuring it to 1/3-1/2 cup. Just tried curry chicken, no rice...1/3 c chicken add curry sauce to 1/2 c total. I'm going to Indian buffet for lunch next week. No nan-bread. Plan on mostly meat and sauce add veggies, little potato. Seasonings warm like medium taco sauce is okay. I will eat my portion and take home the rest, probably 3 more meals.

      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.
