Am soooooo trying not to whine but at 3 weeks out I am still bordering miserable. With reference to feeling normal at all. I did have a setback of pneumonia and was re hospitalized and also had some small and a huge hernia repaired (30 staples worth) but I just wanna feel better and wanna feel good about eating again. Thank you for letting me try not to whine .. ; ). Any insights on when I will feel human again ?

You've had a lot of things happen to your body ! I can only imagine what your insides are going through . I feel the same way . I feel normal but it's like a NEW normal and I am having a hard time dealing with it .

I want to feel like the old me... Just with my hits rearranged LOL .

Same here...I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm feeling like a circus freak. What did help today was a trip to TJ Maxx to look at clothes. Before the surgery I was buying 2X shirts, today I put on a MEDIUM and it fit. That was my first NSV (non scale victory).

We have to remember why we started this journey and how miserable we were before the surgery. I KNOW that I don't want to feel like that again.

We are strong women who WILL make it thru this together.

I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241
