8 Weeks Out From Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Wishing I Could Turn Back Time

[MS LISA 1]

Not sure if this is the right section for this thread, but it sounded right.

Just having a whinge, and I am surrprised its taken me this long.

I am 8 weeks out from surgery tomorrow, and I feel shite. I can't eat anything, and if I do its tiny tiny amounts. I hear "read" people talking about eating a saucer of food. I am lucky if I can eat 2 or 3 teaspoons. I am vomitting most days, no reason, just feel sick, and up it comes.

I can drink fine, but food is a real issue. Surely my body can't survive on such little food. For example, yesterday I had a couple of sips of a hot choc, 1 cracker with vegimite and a sip of Soup. I can't seem to find any information on why I feel a blockage in my throat. I think this blockage is whats causing me to be sick. Its like when you poke your finger down your throat and you need to retch, like its just sitting there ready to make me spew!

Food is such a huge part of your life and every single meal is affected by how I feel. We don't go out any where because I can't eat anything. I haven't got the energy just to cruise the shops.

I have lost 20kg but I worry about it coming back when eventually I start to eat.

**Little gap there where I went to be sick**

I am just so over it, and soemdays find myself wishing I had never done this to myself. :lol0:

HI THERE I WAS WONDERING HOW ARE YOU DOING NOW?

I am doing really well now thank you! Last christmas I was really sick. I was underweight and having issues with keeping anything down, now 12 months down the track I am feeling fantastic! Still can't eat much and having issues with maintaing a healthy weight, but feeling great. Its weird to read back over this post. I thought I'd really made the wrong decision, now I tell everyone I can about it

I have lost about 119 pounds. And sit fairly steady on 119 pounds.
