Was anyone else just miserable for their first 3 weeks post-op? I dreaded getting up in the morning and drinking anything, side effects like diarrhea were bad enough but nothing felt good in my stomach. I finally turned a corner a few days ago but at first I had buyers remorse every second of the day.

I'm still in horrible pain when I move the wrong way. Everyone asks how I am, and I say good except for the knife stuck in my left side. I can't sit at my desk for long or it starts shooting to my back. I'm at two weeks post open.

I'll be 3 wks on Thurs and I'm pretty miserable. My immune system is so low and I've been sick since 1 wk post op. I'm very ready to start feeling better....I know it's coming, just wish it would hurry up and get here.

@@Cookie107 I completely feel the same way I'm 10 days post and I'm miserable. I crave real good so badly and to make it worse the shakes and everything are just not sitting well anymore. And my immune system feels likes its crashing. Anyone with ideas on how to fix this iut would be appreciated.

      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!!
