I am only two weeks out so this is not from my own experience but I spoke to a number of sleevers and bypass friends who had the surgery years ago and this was their biggest complaint - not being able to eat as much as they used to. Even ten years out, one friend cannot get an entire appetizer down in one sitting. However, not anyone of them would go back. This is what got us in trouble before.

I am in my fifties. My family is very supportive because I think they were afraid I would die at 58 of a heart attack as my father did. I have been very lucky.
Don't let them wear you down. You need to do what is right for you. Some of us cannot keep the weight off without assistance.

I am a week post surgery and I had many of the same issues -
A headache for 4 days - I was a diet coke addict and kept drinking up to the day before my surgery. I think I was having a caffeine headache. I took some tylenol and bullied my way through it. By day 4 the headache was gone.
I had diarrhea for the first 5 days. The nurse at the hospital said that happens to a lot of people. If it went more than a week then make certain to call the doctor. Bowel movements are still not pre surgery but they are better.
The scaping of your throat may be correct. I have post nasal drip and everything I coughed up was bloody. It took a few days to get through that also. Give it a few more days. Bring it up with the doctor if it does not go away.
