5 days Post OP - sad, depressed



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 days post Op, I can barely get anything down, I have all these Premier Protein drinks I cant drink, I have gas pain and can't fart and My husband keeps eating the things I like In front of me.

I just want a small bowl of Lucky Charms mannnnnn. This is Hell, it's a absolutely terrible experience and I wish I never got this stupid sleeve.

This is exactly what I said to myself on day 2 - couldn't believe I'd done this to MYSELF! Now, three weeks out, the regrets are all over. It does get better and better :-)

Get you some gas-x and tell dude he gonna have to go in the next room with that food. You've only been out of the hospital a few days it will get better every day. sip something every 10-15 minutes and when he eats you go outside and take a walk. you will be amazed at how much it improves the gas. this is not hell. hell is being trapped in a body that holds you back from being the person you want to be. this is like purchasing a one way ticket on a crappy bus out of hell. sure the journey will not be easy or comfortable and will suck like hell but each pound down gets you closer to your goal and baaaaby when you get there you will enjoy it. keep your eyes on the prize. he flaunts his food today you flaunt your body tomorrow!

Everyone reacts differently to those initial days of misery. I laughed at myself for being an idiot and doing this to myself. A few months later I laughed at myself for laughing at myself when I was cleaning out the fat clothes from my closet for the 3rd time. :)

I was having a tough day today myself. I just wished I was at my goal weight, getting dressed for saturday night, headed out for a night of flirting and debauchery. Shoot, my eyes even acted like they wanted to get all teary cause i'm posted up in front of the computer in sweat pants with a bottle of Water instead. But then my inner reasonable person reminded me that I am currently well on my way to being the me I used to be. Once again having choices and being comfortable in my own skin doing whatever it is my heart pleases. We have taken the difficult steps to make the biggest impact on our lives and our health we could ever make. If it was easy everybody would do it. Sometime we just have to remind our selves of our own strength.

I am five days out also. I really like the peach fuzzy navel nectar and Unjury powdered chicken Soup. The first couple of days I was like I cannot get these fluids down. Today came real close to it. Keep at it sip by sip, don't gulp. Just think in a few months how amazing you look and it will be so worth it.

Gawd that first week was horrible. I agree. Focusing on Water and broth helps.

Hang in there it's get easy with time. I was the same situation as you I got depressed and regretted the surgery at first but now I'm 4 months post op. I'm glad I did I it. It's still hard at time but continue drinking your Water n Protein ,,,walk walk and walk ,, I still crave me favorite food but then I see how I'm loosing the weight and inches it encourage me to continue,, just hang on. You won't regret it later.

I am in the same boat. My husband keeps eating out all of the things I wish I could eat right now. Its so hard and I feel regretful myself most of the time. Everyone on here keeps saying it will get better but its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
