Happy birthday? No, not Happy! Rant

It's my birthday, my 27th bday and I'm like 11 days post op. My first without a great dinner and cake. I'm struggling today. All I want is to lose some weight. I don't want to be classified as "morbidly obese" anymore. I wanna go on roller coasters and feel comfortable when I fly. I need this surgery. I'm glad I had it but...... Today I hate it! I'm so weak it's insane. I've had about 12 oz of fluid today and one bite of yogurt. That's really me trying all day. I tried drinking more and I barfed. Barfed all over my backseat. Today I want cake, I want to go to dinner, I want to have energy to enjoy a walk with my family... And I can't! My body is too weak, my sleeve is being an ass and I'm regretting my decision today! Why can't I be one of the ones that can drink 64oz of water and 3 shakes a day? I know it will get better right? It has to. I know it's still fresh and new but I'm suppose to start soft solids on Monday and I can't tolerate full liquids. YA I've lost 25 pounds in 11 days, I'm happy about that ....but not really. My husband is very sad because he sees me like this. I'm depressed. I'm never sad. I'm always happy and cheerful.. What have I done? My kids need me fully functioning.... I just wanna scream...
