9 days since surgery

Hi Folks

new to the site. What I had prepared for post op was not what I expected. Physically everything was a ok. But emotionally a dam broke. And I'm finally feeling like I'm floating above water. No one told me about this. Not even the psychologist.

I'm an abuse survivor and that relates directly to my weight gain and stuff. But I just was not prepared for what the last few days have brought. I'm grateful for everything that happened and I have a good therapist and good enough support system.

Just wanted to put that out there and if anyone needs anything they can reach out.

I am back my wedding weight of 11 years ago.

  • Welcome! Congrats on your surgery, and being able to start the healing (physically and emotionally). Many here are survivors (of abuse, or other difficult circumstances). You are in good company!

  • Congratulations to you! I hope you continue to feel better physically and emotionally!

Congratulations! I am new here, too. Surgery almost 5 weeks ago.
I went through a little bit of that--crying and not really knowing why. I hope you are doing better.
