I am new to this and am looking for some support going through this rather difficult time. I am 2 wks post op and I am feeling kind of regretful. I know this is a life altering procedure that I thought I was prepared to handle but I can't seem to get rid of the nausea and the discomfort of the knot that sits below my chest even after just sipping Water. Any suggestions?

You might need to increase your PPI's. I have to do two a day (1am/1pm). check with your surgeon.

This is the most difficult time, shorty you will be living life like you will not believe. It's not magic, it takes work and dedication but I've lost over 200lbs through this process and a previous program. My life is so much better now, its crazy!! give your self and your body a break. You need time to heal and recover.

I wish you the best of luck and success!!

No hunger. No appetite.No food cravings, this sounds like a good thing to me? but i think things got better about week 6 but yes Water s a struggle perhaps flavour your water with sugar free stuff and tea etc to help?

The early days are overwhelming and miserable, for most. If it helps at all - I hardly remember the pain and struggle of the first several weeks post-op. Those memories have faded. I do, however, remember 330 lb me. I promised myself I would never forget how it felt to be 170 lbs heavier - and I've never regretted my choice to change my life.
It will pass - I promise. And it will get easier every day.

Thank you for the feedback and hope you are both doing well

I am new to this site and was hoping for some feedback. I had my surgery on Aug 14th. I am 2 weeks post op and still feeling very nauseous. It is hard to even drink Water. I have that constant knot right below my chest as if something is stuck even with little sips. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive but it seems almost impossible. I know, well I hope it will pass. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
