I'm 4 days post op. I'm totally exhausted and sore everywhere, 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...

It does get better. It did for me' date=' 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?[/quote']

I love this!!
