Just talked with my doctors nurse! I get to start working couple hours a day from home till full release at 3 weeks post op! I'm excited! Now I can "sip while I work"! Today is one week post-op and I feel really good--last 2 days I've gotten all my hydration in and consistently get 60 protein-she said that's prob why I'm feeling good. Been very blessed so far-no nausea and sipping is easy--hope he didn't leave my pouch too big lol

Welcome and congrats.

My surgery was 10/9. Everything has healed up wonderfully. I still have pain on my left side but my doctor said that would be normal. I just can't seem to get enough water and proteins in. Physically I'm good after surgery but mentally I wish I'd never had this done. I cry several times a day and feel very alone even though I have a wonderful husband supporting me. Food was my go to when I was sad and stressed. Now I just don't know what to do. It's like I have no motivation and all I want to do us stay in the house and never come back out. What do I do??

Glad everything went well as far as your surgery update.

As for your crying and feeling stressed, maybe you should see if your insurance has the plan where you can talk to a therapist, so matters won't get worse. Hope everything gets better. Remember we're here.

I'm glad that you are doing well. If you always have something with you to drink you should be ok on water. Unjury makes an unflavored protein powder that is super easy to mix in anything you are eating.

Now you have to work on your brain, instead of going to food, you are going to have to find a different outlet. That can be anything, sewing, scrap booking, walking, anything! The surgery was a tool for us, now it is up to us to reroute our way of thinking. Now instead of eating when I feel sad, I grab the dogs and family and we go for a walk. So stones I just play a silly game on my iPad to pass the time if I'm thinking about a piece of chocolate cake.

Hope this helps! It will get better, I promise!!

Hi, you pick yourself up and brush yourself, and make it do what it do hun. You're going to have a new body and new life. You're going to be able to do things you haven't done in a long time. I say that to say this, if you were happy with ur self you would not have changed it. Think of the long term ur special and ur husband realize that, that's why he supports you because u are worth it..I really hope you sit and think on a more positive note. We are here if you need us, and most of all God got you.
