Is this how I will always feel?

Just a little about myself:   I have been overweight most of my life and have tried diet after diet to little or no success. I found out that Tricare Prime finally decided to pay for LapBand Surgery. I immediately contacted my PCM for a referral which was granted before leaving his office. A weel later visited with the surgeon and was approved for surgery before I even got home for the visit. I followed the full liquid diet to the letter and lost 12 lbs. Tuesday June 24th was my surgery date. I was so scared going back and forth on if I had made the right decision for me. Of course once they started the IV it was a done deal. The surgery went fine even with finding a hiatel hernia that had to be repaired and am a little more sore than I thought I would be.   Now my problems. I have been nauseated for days (no vomiting, yet) and I'm not sure what is causing it. I just generally don't feel well.   I see other people on the forum that say they are up and around and feeling great just a couple of days after surgery. Everyone seems so chipper and has a positive outlook and excited. I don't feel any of those things.   I'm trying to remain positive, and keep trying to convince myself that this is only temporary, but go back to my original question, was this the right decision for me and is this how I will always feel?   I'm scheduled to go back to work Monday, but the way I feel now, I'm just not sure and I can't miss anymore work.   I can only hope that things get better from here.
