Oh my goodness....the crying! I'm 6 days post op and I have no pain, can get in a good amount of liquids, but the crying is awful. I don't even feel like myself. Plus I have no patience at all for anything..the dog, the 6 yr old...it's awful. I hope this part of it ends soon.

@@FMoore2004 Keep holding on!

On my 4th day post-op I had multiple crying fits.

It's very frustrating! I had a lot of gas pain and nausea.

I'm now on 9th day post-op and feeling great (lost almost 20 lbs).

My tips:

- sleep well - your body needs rest to heal.

- Listen to your body, as Barry said.

- For me, drinking in really small sips while standing up gave my stomach "room".

- I froze cubes of natural sugar free juice. Best "popsicle" ever.

and finally: cry. let it all out.

A few days ago I felt like stabbing someone. If you need anything, IM me.

lots os love

Sounds like the hormones stored in fat are dumping out quickly. That can happen. I had moments where I was craving chick flicks one moment and wanted to pound something the next. It was an odd roller coaster, akin to adolescence. It is actually normal. Hang on and don't make any life changing decisions

I had two crying fits on day 2 and 3. I was so over it and thought I had mad a huge mistake. It does get better.

Day 6 has not been a good day for me. My stomach has been upset all day. I'm having lots of cramping and diarrhea. I added Protein shakes yesterday so I don't know if this the the result or what the hell is happening but I'm not happy. Yesterday I felt really good and thought I was on the right now and today has been a total set back :(

I had a pretty crappy day as well so don't feel alone. I'm doing purée and every bit of food hurts when I swallow!!! I feel it going down and it's not pleasant. I'm chewing it to nothing and I still hurts, drinks hurt! I'm over it. I walked pass the pizza shop today and the aroma frustrated me to the point of tears. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

It's completely normal after any surgery for your recovery to vary. You feel great one day, you do a bit more than you had been, you feel crappy the next. That's just the way it works. Tomorrow should be better!

I wasn't able to keep anything but Clear Liquids for 18 days post surgery. Two days later, I'm not only eating, everything is staying down without any trouble at all. It gets better, I promise!

FMoore, I'm sorry you had a bad day too. I keep thinking that it has to get better. If you don't mind me asking, how much weight have you lost? I started at 264 and am 247 today.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
