Feeling Down

[clk 3,519]

I hope you get through this phase quickly. I'm sorry your drain is in so long, too! What misery.

There are some things I just wish more people were prepared for post op, but we're all so excited about the big, positive changes we're making that we often don't think about or realize that the healing period pretty much stinks.

Don't worry. You will feel much better soon. That weight will drop off, even if it's not as quickly as you'd like. I didn't expect to gain in the hospital, either, but I did. A lot of us do. IVs do that to people.

I'm glad your gas pain is more manageable. Try to find positive things to think about, and get re-motivated like you were the day before surgery. Healing stinks yeah. But you'll get past this and onto a new you in no time. This phase is short, and once you're through it you never have to do it again. In the grand scheme of things, it's a small price to pay for a new lease on life.

Best of luck and speedy healing!
