Hopes place

Hi, I am 6 days post surgery and I need some encouragement. I am usually a very happy, fun loving person but I have only lost 8 pounds, have pain in my chest (my doctors office says this is gas) but I can't get rid of it and I can't crush all my heart medicines and swallow them in water. They taste so bad.... I need to make sure I get those meds in my system. When I called my doctors office and asked them why I am starving and told them I had eaten yogart, they said I could cause a slippage from doing that....That scared me because I didn't even know there could be a slippage. Now I am afraid to even move because I think it might slip. Wow, after reading this I can't believe I am saying all these things......I guess I didn't know what I was getting into.....I weighed 222 at surgery and now weigh 214. Sorry to sound so down, but am I alone in my feelings or will things get better. Will I ever be able to eat again and not hurt in my chest. Thanks for listening guys........
