Don't know what to do...

Buddy needed

I am trying to remain positive, but I keep finding myself saying "I wish I had not done this".   I was "sleeved" on November 15, 2012 at a prestigious Chicago hospital. I have been nothing but sick since the surgery. Everything from DVT (blood clot), pneumonia, hypokalemia, wound infection, dehydration and so on and so forth... I am in the hospital weekly. I am tired! I cannot tolerate the protein drinks (vomiting), so I've been "eating" chicken broth since discharge. I had to be admitted for severe dehydration and hypokalemia, so I'm now drinking V8 for calories, Gatorade, water, and chicken broth. I'm always nauseated, with some vomiting, even while taking Prevacid and Zofran around the clock. I think all of this is causing some depression, I've stopped "eating".   I didn't post this to make anyone question the decision to sleeve, I think it's a great option for people like us. I'm looking for some pointers, a forum, a mentor/buddy to get me through the next 5 weeks.   I will keep smiling because I know the best is yet to come... but it's hard.
