I got home from surgery around noon. My husband made me walk 15 minutes before getting in to bed. Then I woke up to having to use the restroom. He didn't answer his phone and I started freaking out. I made it and heard him in kitchen. I called over and over and he answered but didn't come. I just burst into tears and haven't stopped yet. He is hitching about finding sugar free Jello. I love him. Had no idea his bedside manner sucked..., not sure why I am so teary.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, but believe me it's from the surgery and it will pass. You're entitled to some tears. Your body and mind have been through quite a lot and it's super stressful. Stay connected here and get some rest. Congratulations on your surgery!

Everything is weird right now because of the surgery. Your body doesn't know what to do so its normal to have mood swings , etc. It will pass. Congratulations !!

I have had several surgeries and each time, about 2 weeks out, I get very emotional. I would cry at anything. Your husband should not have made you walk like that. He does not live inside your body and don't know how you are feeling. Next time, ignore him and do what your body is telling you to do. Like go to bed.

I had a similar experience with my husband after my 2nd child was born. I kept calling and calling him and he didn't come. He says he didn't hear me but didn't check on me for over an hour and I had a 103 fever. Who wouldn't check on someone who just had a c section and had a 103 fever. I couldn't move. It was scary. I still bring it up. I'm not expecting much of him after my operation Tuesday.

He was told I could get blood clots and have a stroke. His mom had a stroke.,, he was also told that my lungs partially collapsed and i have to suck on this breathing thing... I times out of ten I am ok with him pushing me... then I lose my head and cry, calling him mean. I m really not myself.

You will go through a lot of emotions these next 2 weeks try to stay in a upright position if you have a recliner sleep in it & yes do get up by your self & walk around your living room just like they did in the hospital , also you just had major surgery so take the next 2 days to rest as much as you can another suggestion is put a LOT of pillows behind you if you're laying in bed , pretty soon you can take one by one off till you are comfortable , try to be patient with Husband or family members it will get better , I was lucky because everybody new in my house ,so when one of us aren't feeling well , it's funny because we don't talk to each other on normal days most of the time & when we are sick or had surgery we are more difficult , hope things get better for you like I & others said it will get better.

      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!!
