tired - I’m 37!lbs. is it worth it if I’m feeling like the walking dead?

@smm86

sorry you are not feeling up to par, ☹️As OP have said - it should/will get better.

Everyone heals differently, feels better in different time periods, looses weight slower/faster

than each other. NEVER compare yourself to another person. Feel better soon!! (please!)

Kudos on your weight loss!! 37 lbs down!!

Good Luck

Kathy

I’m ab three weeks out and I’m having a hard time. I’m tired all the time, it’s hard to eat anything! I feel like most things sit in my tummy for hours ! I randomly woke up Sunday and couldn’t keep a thing down not even Water. Speaking of water... I’m SO THIRSTY!!! The small sips aren’t doing anything and after a few sips I’m feeling a “sick feeling”. Before surgery I drank a lot of sparkling Water which I know I can’t have. All I wanna do is use a straw and guzzle down some ice cold water but I can’t and I’m so frustrated! Regretting this at this point.. even though I’m 37!lbs. is it worth it if I’m feeling like the walking dead? Sorry for the rant I’ve just had it

Trust me when I tell you the initial discomfort will pass. The first Month Post op, I was beyond miserable but now I have more energy than I did when I was 18 Years old.

I feel ya girl. I am 10 weeks post op. I miss food. So much. I miss gorging myself. I am down 41lb since surgery (51lb since pre-op diet) and under 200lb, but still, I feel so empty. I definitely miss the days where I could be like, “I’ll start on Monday.” I miss McDonald’s. And I miss diet soda and seltzer. However, I now enjoy my iced tea. Btw I can gulp Water like do 3 gulps when parched so it does get better. I am always dehydrated though gotta work on that.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
