So hard to adjust

[cdestrada 6]

I am almost 4 weeks post op and I just can't cope with this adjustment. This has been the hardest and worst month of my life. I am dehydrated because I can't seem to drink enough Water. I only drink about 25 oz a day. I just can't drink more, I try and I feel sick. I barely eat anything because I get sick, due to be dehydrated. I am depressed all the time. I know everyone says this will pass, but I feel like this has been a bad decision. And I can't take it back. I am trying to stay positive and keep in my mind that in the long run this will be the best thing I could've done, but it just dont feel like it right now.. I am on soft foods, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, fish, plain yogurt, tofu, and retried Beans oh and cheese, but I just can't eat that anymore. And I have been just eating broths but my Dr said my body is in starvation mode and I am burning muscle.. I just don't know what to do anymore...

Sorry everyone... I just realized I posted this in the wrong post. I was sleeved and meant to post this there.

It's all good. I didn't even look at your profile to see what kind of surgery you had. We also get these kind of complaints on this forum too. But I don't recall seeing anyone with only 25 ozs of Water? That's dangerous and I hope you find a solution?

Hey Hon, hang in there. I'm glad you posted here by mistake..... Sounds like you need süpport. Try sipping a variety of liquids.... Milk, crystal lite, juices, whatever...just get in your liquids! Dehydration can also contribute to fatigue and depression. Post here any time....we'll be here for you, too.

Hang in there...I had "buyers remorse" too in the beginning and wondered and cried often about what had a I done to myself. It does pass if that is any comfort. Can you reach out to your doctors office for added supported...a nutritionist or the psychologist....just to get you through this phase....any WLS is a shock to your system and there is definitely an adjustment period.

Wishing you much success! Feel better!

Sending best wishes your way -- hope you can get those liquids in and begin feeling better right away. Sounds like a bumpy start but when it smooths out you will be feeling like yourself again, only minus the food cravings and extra weight.

Have you asked your doctor to prescribe you some anti-nausea meds? They may help enough to allow you to get in more fluids, which in turn will make you feel better altogether... 25 oz of fluids a day is worrisome, so make sure you call your surgeon. Best wishes
