I'm scared of this feeling, too. But... knowing that there is light at the end of the crappy beginning tunnel keeps me going to getting the surgery. Each day you will get better and better. Remember, your stomache is in a state of shock right now. Keep at it!!! It's ok to have the feelings of regret, but once you are recovered in a few weeks you will LOVE your sleeve!! AND THE NEW YOU!!!!

It is hard to drink all the Protein stuff. I'm about 2.5 weeks out, and it got better again for me. I was sooooo over the shakes when i was around where you are and for several days on and off, but it's been getting better for me lately because it's now just what I have to do, so I don't think about it as much. I also got to start purees so I had a quarter cup of greek yogurt w/ Protein powder friday, and refried Beans yesterday and today along with the Protein Shakes. I don't see myself being able to get my protein in without them for quite some time, so they are just going to be part of life for a while for me. I hope tomorrow is a better day!

I'm 3 days in and feel sick, headache, and very hungry. Shakes 2xs a day, veggies and some fruit only. I'm thinking there has to be a better way. Surgery is 1/5. Now I'm not sure.

Wow I am 6days out and I am over the sugar free popsicles the chicken broth and the protein drinks. I dont no what to do I no the frist 2 weeks is the hardest but OMG it is

I forgot I can have sugar free jello, but feel like I'm going to get sick. And yes chicken broth and sugar free pops, but I'm over it! Lol and I'm only 3 days in!!!! I keep trying to think of the goal but it's hard, very hard.

it will get better. this is only the beginning. The journey will have its highs and lows but hang in there because the reward is greater than the sacrifice.

Thank you For the encouragement at a time I really need it!

Hang in there! The head hunger is one of the toughest stages but once you get to the purée stage you will start to feel better. Take it slow and remember this is a life long journey that you will be so happy you are a part of.
