My advice: you can't change your decision so suck it up and accept it! (harsh, I know, but why sugar coat?)

I'm only 8 days post-op but I've definitely had my moments. What's helped most, honestly, is the number of threads I've read on here where people have asked if anyone regrets their sleeve. Lots of people said they did the first couple months but once they got through that, they felt like it was the best decision they'd ever made. So I'm just trying to hang in there and know that it might suck for awhile but that will pass and then it should be great!

Hello, Jason from VA...

What's done is done. You can't really undo it, so you might as well work with it. :) . If you are having regrets that are bringing you way down, you might want to talk to a therapist to work through them. But if you are just reeling from surgery and need reassurance, all of us have lots of advice to give.

Also, it helps to give us an idea of what you are asking about in the title of your post. You have started at least two threads with "Jason from VA" as the topic in two different forums. Maybe a topic like "Need advice, feeling depressed" or "Post op exercise question" as topics so we know what to expect going in..

You are going to do fine Jason! Just think of the possibilities when you're thin. Think of how much longer your probably live (hey even thin people can step off a curb and get hit by a bus;) ) I know that the thought of digging into a huge pile of chicken wings or nachos is sad, but we are not lucky to have the metabolism like that(those rat bastards that do can kiss my wide fat Norwegian a$$ lol) but think about going out in public in shorts or not being winded walking to the mailbox. Okay I'm putting down my pom poms ...now get over it sunshine and work to your new future. At least the scary part (surgery) is over and you lived! I am still on this damned 1200 cal diet for 82 more days. That will hopefully land me right in the middle of the holidays(yay!...not ;( but I want to get it done before I have to pay more deductibles. That is unless I kill someone from chocolate deprivation...oh well then the state can pay for it.

Good luck and if you need to bitch at someone, I'm always around.

I think I have found my peeps!

Elsewhere on this board are some deep sinkholes of sensitivity a body could disappear into. Shee!

I'm 14 days out today. Feeling good. Doing good.

I had one WTF?! day -- fortunately, it was Day Two. And when the sun rose on Day Three it was over.

What's for dinner?

Why would you not be able to have yams or pumpkin pie? Just have a wee tiny slice of pumpkin pie after thanksgiving dinner and you'll be fine.

Post op is a turbulent time. If you made it this far, pat yourself on the back. This site is the place for support whether we're feeling great or crappy. Haha. Autocorrect changed "support" to "supper". Guess what I type about a lot.

      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!!
