I had RNY last Thu the 26th of Dec. My highest weight was 520 last year. When I started the journey of WLS over the past summer I weighed in at 496. The day of my surgery I weighed 463.

I was released from the hospital 48 hours later.

I feel miserable. I really do. Can't sleep, stomach is tight & sore. Feel light headed at times & down.

I am drinking my Protein shakes but Water taste like metal to me. I'm due to see the doctor on the 8th of June. Was told to start puréed meals this upcoming Friday.

Just don't feel myself at all. I know it's a change but Jesus, I don't think I've smiled once since it was done. Except when I came home

So sorry to hear you're struggling in your recovery. The first couple of weeks do suck. It gets better, I promise! Ur gonna love the new you!

I felt pretty much the same. I was pretty miserable the first 2 weeks, but I promise, it got better each day. I'm 1 month out and still don't do well after eating for about 30 mins, but I feel 100% the rest of the day. Keep your eye on the goal. It will get better and it will be completely worth it soon enough!!!! Just rest for now and get your protein in. For the water I used "true lemon", you can find it in the spice section of the grocery store and it made my water heavier and taste better.

Thank you both so much

I had my surgery on the same day. I notice small changes each day. Belly not as swollen and my headache is gone. Sad to say I haven't had a shower yet either, but I will tomorrow. Still like water but most sugar free is so chemical tasting, I would rather not eat it. I will have to see what type bothers me the most. Hang in there.

Sorry to hear you aren't feeling so good. It indeed is a big change and can just totally take a lot out of you. The good news is this usually passes! It even became my mantra over time.."This too shall pass." I've got to say you have come to an awesome group for support. Anytime you feel down or just need to ask questions we are here. We pretty much all know how things can feel overwhelming at 1st. The main thing right now is getting your fluids in. The rest is a learning curve that comes. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Thank you! It has it's moments. Very big change. Mentally and emotionally but in taking it step by step.

You're so right....it's not only a physical challenge, but an emotional one as well. Be patient and kind with yourself, and give yourself time to heal. God Bless, and Happy New Year!

Thank you! It has it's moments. Very big change. Mentally and emotionally but in taking it step by step.

Yes ma'am! That's it! Day by day.
