I am 2 weeks post op. I cry just about every night. My surgery and recovery both went/are fine. It definitely is a roller coaster. I am so sorry to hear this. I hope it gets better soon for you. I am looking forward to my first support group this week. I think that will help me, maybe you can find a local one to attend. Keep the faith, again 2 weeks today for me , so still very new here too.

Congrats!! That is very inspiring. I am 2 weeks post op. Down about 19 lbs today. Went for a walk today and oh my..it was a lot easier JUST being down 19! I can't wait to hit 100#! Awesome job:) and yes You look great, summer will be fun won't it?! Can't wait to see myself little

Hopefull2loose2014,
This is very normal. I think we all went through this. I know I did. I am 46 and have a 9 year old and I was scared also. I have to say that spending the two weeks prior getting ready was very important to me. I made sure my home was clean, stocked and I made lists for my husband and sister. I had it set up that my son could stay with my sister and mom if anything made me stay in the hospital longer. I have to say that I was a bundle of nerves the 2 weeks prior but the night before I was kind of excited and by the time I got to the hospital I was so ready to be done.
Now flash forward 8.5 months later and I have lost over 100 lbs. I have no sleep Apnea or high blood pressure etc. I am so happy and have changed in so many ways. Not just weight but new job and a new healthy life style.
Now here comes the nagging. You must do what is best for your surgery to HELP aid to have a successful surgery. You can and you will drink those Protein shakes because you need to get through this short period to ensure you did everything your doctor asked you to do. You can do this!!

How far post op? Bypass ? And it did not upset at all ?

I'm sorry you're struggling but honestly at about one week out what you describe is not so unusual. A month from now you'll be singing a different toon. I hope you feel better, Good luck
