My surgery was Tues 18th, I was released Fri the 21st. Bloating was the reason they kept me the extra time.
I have also wondered if I made a mistake, will my life ever feel normal again??? Normally I would have rewarded myself with food for all of this trauma my body has been thru.
I don't know if I'm still in pain, hungry, full or exactly how I feel. I'm afraid to voice these feelings to my family because I've failed so many diets my entire life.
I'm drinking Water ok, drinking my Protein drinks and shakes and Soup. But I'm afraid to drink too much, I don't know if it's too little. Ugh I don't even know if I have felt hunger yet.
I'm thankful for no nausea, I assumed that would be my biggest battle. The gas and pain from it shooting around inside me has been my biggest issue.
I had 10 months to make this decision. Tests, therapy, 2 sleep studies, supervised diet, etc., etc. I didn't know that I would feel deprived after the trauma of surgery because I couldn't reward myself with food of my choosing.
My family has been so great, and extremely supportive but I still feel alone and scared. I know I will lose weight, I just don't want to gain it back. I want this to work. I feel like I've done so much prep work I'm shocked I feel this way. So I want to make sure I get all I can from my hour money and recovery.
