Going home
It should get better pretty quickly from here on. If it doesn't, don't be afraid to call your surgeon...that's why they get the big bucks. :) Hang in there.

The first days can be rough while you are feeling like you have been run over by a truck. But it gets better pretty quickly and once you are home, that will make a tremendous difference. Take your pain meds if you need to. Rest, sip, walk, repeat. A week will make a huge difference.

I had a few of those moments the first week. It gets easier and I have never regretted this decision. Even on the worst days! The first week is hard between the recovery and learning to drink again. I swear once I transitioned to soft foods, my mood improved immeasurably. You made the right decision...just hang on and soon all will be better!

I had absoluetly no doubts before surgery but within the first week I had buyers remorse big time. My Dr. was so surprised when I went for my first Appt.
That is a perfectly normal reaction but it will pass. Take it slow and give your body (and mind) time to adjust.
If you have time start a journal of your feelings and experiences. It is strange how much you forget after the pounds start coming off and the WOWS begin.
