I used a body pillow and supported my torso with it when laying on my side. Made a world of difference

Prissy I know the first week is really hard and emotional I broke down and cried I was tired and had no energy and I'm use to being on the go but I'm going into week three now and I'm my normal self again wait till u can eat mushies it gets so much better. Chin up ur in my prayers! :-)

I finally had my emotional breakdown yesterday 5days post op. I cried and cried until i couldnt breathe a single breath out of my nostrils lol. Good thing is my hubby was there to help cheer me up. I can honestly say yesterday was not one of my good days. Today seems a lot brighter. Im glad to know im not the only one who has broken down. Im also glad to hear your doing better and that hopefully in the next couple of weeks i will start feeling normal again!

Had my breakdown today when my drain fell out and the Dr had me go to hospital. I just kept thinking, "I did this to myself!" We all mourn the old us as we trust we have made a good decision. It doesn't help that I sit herd all by myself all day. All this time alone to think is dangerous. Hugs to you all on this journey. Lol. Maybe thats why they give us so much pain killer-even tho no pain we can dull the crazy in our brain!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
