Post op day 9 still sucks still having regrets, hungry but can only eat liquid, dying for a glass of wine . Why the hell did I do this ??????

I'm almost at the two week mark and I still question myself. I'm 36 lbs. down and that's amazing but I'm finding it difficult to figure out what to do with myself. I know in my heart I made the right decision because where I was headed was worse but I come from a family of people who've had the surgery and their lives seem so much fuller and happy. I have to continuously look to the bigger picture. I agree though wine would be divine!

Tell me why you did this. Only you know. I did the sleeve, with my husband, to have a life before we died. Scared, hell yeah! But diabetes, asthma, HBP, joint replacement, sleep apnea, swollen ankles, inability to walk, gasping for breath, scared us more. It has worked. After spending the first year of my retirement in a recliner, I did not want to die in that chair. We are 67/68 and we have lost a total of 160 lbs, we are kayaking, swimming in our pool, boating, offshore fishing again, and just walked all over NOLA for 7 days. You may be suffering a little post sleeve anxiety. God Bless you and have faith that you did this for a good reason, to save your life. I wish I had found the sleeve before all the comorbidities. Hugs, Linda

It absolutely will get better (and faster than you will believe). Hang in there and ask yourself the same question two months after surgery - I know you'll have the answer then.

Oh tabitha! I hear ya! I felt the same way for a few weeks. Shed a lot of tears and asked myself what the hell did I do to my body. Well, I am 5 months out and feeling great. Down 65 lbs and work out 3-5 times a week. I took a little while to get the hormones in check but ur body went through a huge change. Please give yourself time and love yourself because u will be so grateful for your sleeve. I know I am and will be forever with all the positive changes that have come along. Keep at it and you'll do great!

I'm about a month out, and I well remember how I felt when I was where you are. You're almost at the end of the hardest parts. Once you can start eating soft foods, you'll really start feeling more like yourself again. Just hang in there!

Thanks so much guys !!!
