I had surgery on March 21st, returned home on the 23rd. The only pain I’m experiencing is the biggest incision but I’m feeling a lot of sadness and anxiety. Anxiety that I’m not walking or breathing into the deep breath tool, and that I’m going to develop blood clots. I’m very tired, resting a lot, sleeping a lot. Is this normal 4 days out? I’m usually an on the run, never stop moving kinda gal and the laziness is getting to me I guess. Also crying a lot wondering if I made the right choice? I’m drinking as much as I can. Yesterday I got down 1 preimiere protein and about 30 additional ounces. Today I’m pushing for 64 but I’m weak. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much Katfight for your long detailed message. I really appreciate your help.

You’re welcome.

I would also add that every one is different and if you are experiencing pain and/or discomfort that can also sap whatever energy you might otherwise have. As you heal everything will start getting easier.

I actual got up and did my hair, got dressed, took a walk up and down the street, went up and down a flight of steps. I think I shouldn’t have used the work weak, maybe just tired and depressed. I’m a 36 year old female, starting weight was 290 and this was my first ever surgery so I think I’m just bummed. I’m getting down my liquids today pretty well. It 2 o clock and I’ve gotten 2 protein shakes and about 30 oz of clear liquids so far

That’s good keep that up! For me the shower and moving around ASAP was key. Try not to veg
