Hi everyone. I am home now and completely miserable. I know my body has been through hell and back but I didn't think I would feel this awful. I have zero energy and my body hurts all over. All I want to do is lay down but if I lay for to long my legs start cramping. If I sit up for to long my back starts hurting. I seem to stay nauseous. I can't handle anything on my stomach but a little bit of Water. This has me so depressed. I just lay here and cry. Which gets me chocked up and I throw up what little water I have in my stomach. Please tell me it will get better. I don't want to end up back in the hospital but I feel that is where I am headed. I feel so alone, helpless, and scared.

I am so sad to hear this. I had my one day of depression on Saturday and I felt like my world was ending. I cannot imagine what you're going through. All I can do is pray for you and hope for the best. I am so sorry.

everyone responding to what has happened to you, is with you in spirit. I can only imagine that you are feeling emotionally and physically tapped out. And yet, u must find the strength to get your fluids in to give your body what it needs so you can heal and move on to the next phase with food, etc., and then day by day, you'll start feeling better. In the meantime, do you have the energy to take short walks...even if it's in your living room? Moving, change of senery, or fresh air, might help with your back pain and lift your mood. Is there anything you can think of to do that would cheer you or help you feel better, e.g., watch a funny movie, take a shower, mediation, a friend or family you could call...? I feel for you sweetie and pray you r feeling better very soon.

I'm sorry that you're going through this. I hope you feel better soon. I wish I had better words of wisdom but I'm not doing so great myself.

I had to go back to the hospital early in my recovery too. I fought it for an entire week. I had flulike symptoms that I just tolerated and ignored because my experience in my complicated, lengthy original hospital stay had been so miserable. Finally, my doctor ordered me back. I DID NOT want to go, but I went. Turns out I had a kidney infection, and had I continued to struggle at home, I could have been in very serious trouble. Now, looking back, I'm glad I went in. I jumpstarted my recovery. If you can't stay hydrated, you should go back in. Being seriously dehydrated will compromise your ability to heal and recovery, and is dangerous anyway.

The first month of my recovery was pretty hellish. But then things even out. I'm now 10 weeks out, and yes, it does get better. I have lost a lot of weight (31 pounds), and I'm not sick anymore. I just live my day to day life. The suffering was definitely worth it. You'll get over the hump too, even if now, it doesn't look like it. Hang in there.

@crissylynn82 Hang in there! What you are feeling is absolutely normal. I have been a nurse for 33 years. Many people just don't realize how much being ill or having a complication takes out of the body and the emotional toll it can take. @@Catcutie gave excellent advice. Move as much as you can, keep sipping liquids, and focus on recovering. You can do this!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
