Could I Eat Something For Nausea
I felt the same way and my doctor told me if i had to eat anything to make sure it was cream of chicken or a yogurt. Also, i am diabetic, so going without food was a no-no for me. i still was able to loss almost 17 pounds before my surgery. I only needed the soup for day 2, 3, and 4...........and back to the liquids again. You should do fine. Don't give up and good luck.

Anxiety
You will do well. You have already made the big decision to lose the weight and is headed in the right direction. I was once in your shoes. As a matter of fact, I resented getting my sleeve until 3 weeks post-op. Once I saw I was able to eat smaller portions and the weight start falling......I knew then it was the best decision I have ever made in regards to myself. I am a bread lover and now I am able to look at it and move on. My head is strong on losing my weight. The best advice I can give anyone is to plan your meals, make healthy choices and to drink plenty of water and liquids. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Days Post Op
I am 8 days post-op and it has been a struggle for me, as well. I questioned myself every day.........every day. I do agree with ebthompson2010, the 3rd and 4th box was aweful for me. Hell, everyday after that was horrible. On day 5, my incisions were infected, day 6 I was back in ER because I was dehydrated and my largest incision developed a pus like bubble on top of it. i had to complete a CT scan with contrast. Trying to explain to the nurses I can not drink the entire contrast was a waste of time. Most of them have not heard of a WLS Sleeve Surgury. Day 7, I experienced a low grade fever most of the day, so back to ER I go until day 8, which is today. I fill better today than the last 5 or 6 days. So, yes, I questioned myself did I make the best decision and I'm still pondering. I'm so frustrated!!!

My Scale Lies I Know It!
Weight watchers seem to produce a better scale. I had mines for almost 10 years and still give accurate numbers. Wal-mart sells them for $29.99 - $44.99.
