It's Sunday 10 pm and my surgery is tomorrow at 12:30! I'm soo hungry lol and very nervous I'm thinking if I should really go through with this! I'm sooo afraid that I'm making a huge mistake by doing it! It may be the nerves talking and the fact that my life will never be the same...fear of the unknown. I hope all goes good tomorrow ???? please keep me in your prayers and thoughts!

Hey first off my husband is Portuguese and I know how good the food is!! You will definitely be able to eat it again that's a plus!! don't be scared it's an exciting journey to a better you, so many people would love the chance you have been granted. Good luck and congratulations !!

You have got this!! I think most people have a little nervous butterflies and doubt right before surgery. I am only 3 weeks post op and can tell you it is the best decision I ever made.

Good luck tomorrow!

I'm having surgery the day after you. Good luck, I'll be sending good thoughts your way!

you can do it..... The hardest part is making the decision - that is done. No Regrets - only opportunities. Relax - have a glass of Water and take three deep breaths. You will do GREAT!!!

@portuguesegal10- wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Day after surgery and I'm regretting it pretty bad

The first couple of days are rough. It will get better. I am 19 days out and back at work. You can do this!!

@@portuguesegal10 - that is pretty typical you have buyers remorse - it will get better and your new life will seem soooo normal after a couple of weeks. Oh, and the scale starts moving in the right direction too, will definitely make you feel much better.

hang in there kiddo!!!

I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow I think what made me regret it was the pain and the thought of never being able to eat normal again. Once I was put on solids about 7 days ago (Drs orders) oh man did I feel better! I'm super happy and the pounds are just falling off!! You took the hardest step it get easier from here.

I honesty don't even care about the food. I'm regretting it because of the pain and nausea that I feel. Nausea to me is the worst and of course I'm nauseous ???? I hope this passes soon!

If your still in the hospital they should be giving you something for nausea,is it not working? It will get better I promise

Congratulations and yes it will be better soon. If the nausea continues ,let your team know and they may be able to give you medication for it. Every day is a better day, hang on in there!! You can do it

My surgery was on Thursday 8/20/15. I was in so much pain and so nauseated and dry heaved so many times in the hospital I lost count. They had to order zofran, reglan, and the scopolamine patch for me to get it under control. It finally helped. I stayed 2 nights in the hospital and was so miserable, but, as soon as I was able to go home, I started feeling better. I'm 5 days post-op or 6 if you count surgery day I suppose, and I'm down 10 pounds already. I was really in regret mode the first 3 days but it's getting better day by day. I have more energy today than any other post op day so far and I expect it to get better and better. I hope you start feeling better and hang in there. I think it will get better. I do miss the thought of many foods but then I remember that my uncontrollable love of food is what got me on the operating table in the first place. Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery.

Thank you everyone for the responses! I am on anti nausea medications every 6 hours or so. I'm still feeling a bit weird. It's hard to explain. It's like when you haven't eaten for a long time and ur stomach is grumbling and u don't know if it's nausea or pain or what. That's what I'm feeling. Yes I'm still in the hospital I'm trying to get down my 24 ounces of liquids and when I do that and keep them down I can go home..hopefully today! I'm really struggling with the liquids though. I get a lot of gas when I drink them

I had a tough time drinking water my dr told me I can have low cal Gatorade and sf drink mixes so I mixed them with water and it made me feel much better. Also ask your dr if you can have gas x strips they really help
