After your first flight, you'll probably feel a bit queasy, but don't let that put you off. It's quite normal, for most people to feel that way. I still remember my TIF some 25 years ago now and logging my first 0.5 flight time in my log book. After that, I wondered whether I'd ever want to fly again after almost spewing up! LOL!
On the same topic: during my first hour (effect of controls), the workload at take off and landing (even more) seemed completely out of reach, and it left me wondering if I would ever feel in control with all these actions. Turns out you get used to it.
That sure wasn't as easy as keeping the already trimmed plane straight and level in clean air with you TIF instructor saying "you must be a natural".
