I was sleeved on Monday. Seems like I've had someyhing different everday. In the hospital I was fine except for a major headache and jaw pain..and nausea. Once home my arm hurt like heck. All that is over and I thought I was on the upswing, but now my belly is so sore! Feeling like I will never be better. I know I will. I know its just a hopeless feeling. I just wish it was over. The plus side is that I've lost 7 lbs!

Congratulations on your successful surgery! Seems like we are always waiting for something.. Waiting for surgical approval, waiting for our dates... waiting to finish the pre op.. waiting for the discomfort to end. It can be frustrating. Try and focus on your "plus sides" Like losing 7 pounds in a few days... like beginning your new normal... that it's been a few days and even though there is a different issue, its not too bad. You had major surgery, give your body time to get out all the meds, lose the extra fluid and heal. You will feel better, it will just take a few days Thankfully, while these issues are annoying, they are very common and to be expected. A heating pad might help with the sore tummy. Feel better and continued good luck and success!!

Congrats on being sleeved!

Next step: Hang in there. This week will not be your finest, it will be lots of ups and downs, physically and emotionally but it will get better each and every week!

You took the big leap of faith and it will pay off.

Don't be a hero. The meds are there for a reason. You won't be on them forever and they really will help this week.

Keep sipping and walking!

It will get better. Hang in there.
