Post surgery: Pain, Emotion, Difficulty



Recommended Posts

Since my surgery 10/8 I'm starting to feel like I'm an anomaly. Post surgery I haven't had any pain, I haven't had any emotional breakdowns and haven't had any difficulty with my adjusted diet. (I know 3 months is early, so I can't say what the future holds......hopefully my life redesign will continue along the same path.). I think for me the fact that I didn't have any distractions (financial/personal/family/work issues) has helped tremendously.

So with that said, I was wondering if any others have had similar experiences thus far, and if so what do you credit with your success so far? I would love to hear from others, please share your experience.

I think other factors, perhaps more important than no distractions as you call them, is attitude and expectation. Barring a major complication, you sound like you were in it to win it, had a plan, and expected success. We all have such varied personality traits, both inherent and molded from life experiences that we go into this process with our heads in very very differt places. This is an interesting thought. Glad you brought it up and wishing you continued success.

Of course attitude is the most important factor, along with focus and the fact that i was ready. Thanks! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
