I think I made a mistake

I am 18 days out, down about 35 lbs and still in pain from my "G" tube, weak, can barely tolerate any soft foods and getting real tired of the same thing every day.  I am getting meds, vitamins, and protein in, but only about 34 ozs of water a day, I am trying my hardest to get in more and just can't.  I have diarrhea, am depressed, can't pick up my beautiful baby girl, and just feeling like crap.  I think I made a bad decision.  Has anyone else felt this way?  I just need some encouragement right now because all I have done since yesterday is wrap and cry.  I just needed to vent and let someone know how I feel who might understand.

Giiiiiiiirrrrrllll, I was right there with you at 18 days out. It took me 4 weeks before I was 95% pain free. And boy was I regretting it. In pain, not being able to eat anything, missing food, can't get around like I wanted due to the pain. I  totally understand.
But guess what, it gets SO MUCH better. I am now 8 weeks out and down 42lbs. Am I having some issues, yes. Only with adjusting to foods that I can tolerate but this comes with the territory.
It's going to be ok. You are really still pretty early out. Though I didn't have a G tube I'm sure it can add some additonal issues. Cry when you need to. It's good for the soul. But don't cry too long.
You WILL be ok and get over this hump. This is simply a few moments in time where you are going through some difficulties. But always remember, there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow waiting for you. Dry up those thunderstorm tears so you can see the rainbow.

(((((hugs))))) Things will improve soon.  I did not have a g-tube, no advice on that.  But you will feel so much better when you are getting the 64 oz of fluids in.  Sip, sip, sip.  popsicles helped lots for me.  Buyer's remorse hits most of us from time to time.  You will be healing quickly and picking up your little one before you know it.  Sending you an atricle that talks about the mood swings and hormone release after wls.  I do understand.  Here for the venting, just let it fly.  Hugs, Kathy

Kathy can you send that post to me too. Thanks

I think that everyone that is post surgery feels that way at some point.  For me, I had "Buyers remorse" almost immediately, but now, almost six weeks out I couldn't be happier!  The hormones mess with your head for a while, and I have heard of lots of people being put on anti-depressants.  Psych drugs weren't fo me, but I do therapy weekly to work through all of the crazy feelings.  Just keep reminding yourself that it will get better hon!

Poor baby. Some days in the beginning are just soooooooo bad. It will get better, it will, it will. If you have released 30 lbs plus you are such a rock star!

Hang in there girl - things will get better!

 "Buyers Remorse" is totally normal this early out. It's no wonder, you feel like crap. 

It will get better. Hang in there. Think about all the things you'll be able to do with that baby girl once you recover and have more energy. Don't forget why you did this. 

tomorrow is my surgery so,I have not been there but i just want to said that readind sucessful stories and picture yourself in six months would help everything is going to get better.

Good luck tomorrow.  I'll look forward to hearing from you after the event.  Prayers are with you.
