It does get better. It did for me, around day 7. But I think you are going through Stage 15 right now. :-)

Stages of Weight Loss Surgery

1 - I'm fatter than ever. I've tried everything, I'm miserable and I'll never be normal.

2 - Contact insurance company and get referral for WLS

3 - Do I really want to cut out part of my stomach? Is this really what I want to do? Maybe just one more try, to do it "on my own."

4 - Okay, I'm sure. I need help losing the weight.

5 - WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG!

6 - First doctor's appointment. So Excited!!

7 - What? Why can't I get the surgery next week? Why do I have to do all these appointments?

8 - OMG OMG OMG I Got my date!!! Wonder if I can bring my leftover stomach home in a jar, like tonsils????

9 - I'M NOT READY FOR THIS! What if I'm the one person this doesn't work for?

10 - food funeral - One last pigout to say goodbye to my favorites.

11 - Two week liquid diet - Holy crap! How am I suppose to live on this gunk! Feels like I am starving. Maybe just one slice of pizza?

12 - Day before surgery - Am I sure... am I sure? They can't put my stomach back in if this is a mistake. I can't do this, I can't!

13 - Hour after surgery - Okay, it feels like an alien is trying to pop out of my chest. Where's that morphine pump! ...I'm feeling ok, I can make it!

14 - Hours after surgery - What do you mean you want me to get up and walk?! Can I have a popsicle?

15 - Home - Can't lay down, can't sit up, can't eat anything without stomach complaining. I CAN'T DO THIS!! What the F did I do to myself? Please Lord, take me now.

16 - Week after surgery - Okay... things aren't so bad now. I can make it. Still can't get in the recommended Protein and fluids. Still wondering if I really messed up.

17 - One month - Okay, soft foods are getting old, things still hard, but I can live with this. Am I ever gonna poop?

This is fabulous! Should be sticky!

I'm 4 days post op. I'm totally exhausted and sore everywhere' date=' especially when I take a deep breath. I'm not sick but feel nauseas most of the time.. Shouldn't this be going away soon? Hope it's not a life sentence! Someone please remind me again why I chose to do this to myself...[/quote']

You did it becausw you wanted change your life for the better. I thought the same thing once the surgery was done I felt horrible. But now im 5 days post op and I feel pretty good. Just minor annoying things :-) it'll be worth it. Remind yourself everday.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
