Before I went for surgery some people had the same complaints. I thought it wouldn't happen to me, but after having this surgery I wasn't sure if I just totally messed my whole life up. The thing is life gets better and those doubts go away and you become very comfortable with the new lifestyle and new stomach. good luck to you.

Phenergan...as for it NOW! It'll help the nausea. There are a few things that could be causing it, the med will help. (Just hurts going in because it goes into a muscle, not your IV.)

Take anti-nausea meds and just drift in and out awhile. It will be easier each day! One day it will be a bad memory and you'll be happier and happier you did this!

I'm eight weeks out from surgery and have no regrets. I did have some anxiety before the surgery though. Try relaxing, breathing calmly and thinking positively about the future. This will be a step that will make you feel much better in the long run.

HUGS! The hospital part is some of the "not so fun part". I am 4 weeks out almost today! I feel great! I have lost 38 ish pounds since surgery. Trust me on this everyday I wake up with a SMILE! For years I dreaded getting on the scale....now I can't wait! I have more energy, am not so out of breath, clothes are getting looser everyday! I woke up in the hospital just like you and thought "what have I done?" Try to stay calm and think about how you are moving in the right direction. :) The first couple of days are hardest. Try to just take it minute by minute! Sip and walk. :) You are going to be proud of yourself really soon!

I had the same experience - the anxiety - 2 weeks ago when I had my sleeve. I've had those thoughts over the past 2 weeks now, on and off. You'll get tired of sipping and reflux and writing down what you eat and all the rest that comes with recuperation. But you're recuperating. I had to remember all the reasons I made the decision to do the surgery. Maybe that would help you, too. Nothing's worse than feeling sick in the hospital. If you keep a journal you might see in black and white how quickly you'll feel better.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
