I had the sleeve done a couple days ago, and I feel like no one around me knows the pain I'm in. Sometimes I feel I won't accept my "new body" since I've been overweight basically since my adolescent. Probably just need to vent.

I felt the exact same way... The more normal I feel and the more I heal the more that feeling goes away.

Omg @ Foxy_lady, I kno exactly how you are feeling. I had mine done on 3/7 and the regret feelings I had every day until yesterday, I think when we start feeling better from the pain most of the regrets go away. Hang in there you will feel better,

@ I totally understand you, I've been overweight since I was young too and it's a shame to say but I had accepted it. But I chose to this surgery cause of health reasons...I'm also worried about accepting my new body, so I'm taking one day at a time. Waiting for the day I can eat something lol .

I was sleeved on the 10th in Tiajuana and for 36 hours was given 1000 ml bags of Tramadol. The doctor literally called me a cry baby because I kept complaining of pain. Other people who were at the facility popped right up and seemed to have no issues. I'm 4 daya out and still hurting so badly I can't lay flat, and turning in any sort of oblique position feels like someone sucker punched me. I thought I may have done some damage with the crazy taxi rides and airplane turbulence heading home and was super afraid of herniation. I just finally had to take what my mom said into consideration there's no right way or wrong way for this to go. Everyone is different and if you're in pain then address the pain. So many people have made me feel "small" when I tall about how bad I am hurting but this truly would be a cake walk aside from that. The further away from surgery date I get the less the pain is but it decreases in small measurements. I hope you feel better. I'm living on ibuprofen and antibiotics and prayers!

I am right there with you. Post op Day 4. And it is all overwhelming. food is such an emotional thing. It's like they pulled us away from our mother on the first day of school. Some kicking and screaming. I am just feeling sad. Time does heal.

      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!!
