Hello. I am new here.I had gastric bypass on January 12th, 2015. I have been miserable ever since then. I was sent home with a JP drain. I hurt all the time. I can't believe I volunteered for this. I don't want to come off rude, but I am too uncomfortable to make an effort. When/Does this get better? I know I need to focus on me, but I have a family who needs me. Thanks to anyone who helps. I appreciate it.

Christina

It will get better, I promise. Your body just needs a few days don't push it. Even though you may only have a few small holes on the outside you have been completely rearranged on the inside. Lay around and recover. Your family will understand.

It does get better! I had surgery on the 8th. It was almost a week before I passed the gas and had a bowel movement, which I have to say changed everything. Before that, I thought my life was just over!

It will get better. You need a few more days rest and for your family to pick up the slack. It is shocking but it gets to be about you for a week or two more. I just let myself sit in that hospital and be taken care of...when does that EVER happen???!!!

By day five I felt a lot better, you should be close soon. Take your meds and don't worry about eating right now!!!!!! Your probably realy swollen so trying to drink your food will (could) make you feel much worse. Measure out 1 tblsp of liquids per two hours!!! Seriously that's it for this stage. Some people can do more but not me and it was key to feeling better

For the first week I craved food a lot. That goes away I promise. The pain is much better by 2 weeks out You won't regret you did this

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
