NewKristen 356 Posted March 6, 2013 It will be worth it! Remember what you just did to your body! It just takes some time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heyher 581 Posted March 6, 2013 It will get better. You just went through major surgery and your stomach just had a major trauma happen to it. No need to be a hero. Right now is very important to listen to your body. Take pain meds as prescribed. Don't wait for pain to start. Stay ahead of it. If your body says to sleep, then sleep. When you are awake take small sips of room temp Water and try to walk every 30 minutes. Even if its a lap around the room. Focus on small victories. Right now it might be too overwhelming to think about the big picture. Focus on sipping, walking, and Protein. Remember it will get better. Every day you will notice improvements. No matter how small, those improvements are part of you getting to a healthier life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted March 6, 2013 It gets better after the first couple weeks. Remember, you did just have an extremely invasive procedure where they removed 85% of major organ. It's going to hurt. Once your body gets over hating you for that, it's not as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
