So sorry i didn't see that before i posted. The day when you can use the hand wash cloth is a day your rejoice! Hang in there everyday is an improvement.

On My 2nd day in the hospital I truly enjoyed washing up and changed into my own pj 's and walked the hallways with a skip in my step. :)

The anesthesia is probably having an affect on you still, as well! Hang in there, this will all pass soon. Your journey has begun, celebrate!!! :)

I know, I just keep thinking this muscle pain will never go away and I'll be walking like the hunchback forever. Just not feeling like myself

Not that it's the same, but I'm 9 days out and started crying today because my doctor (my family doc) didn't have any open appointments today to look at the rash I've had since surgery. Like, hung up the phone and cried like a baby.

You're only 2 days out. All the meds in your system.... Just let yourself cry it out. It will get better. Everyday has gotten better for me. Gas has gone away, and the pain gets less everyday. And it gets easier to get up/down/around. I promise. ;)

I cried today. I'd been out and about with my friend everywhere. EVERYWHERE!!!! We are both moving and were shopping around for things we needed and I was in the middle of Walmart and this overwhelming fatigue hit me. I felt so tired and I just started to cry. Right there in front of the soy sauce and rice noodles. I had to go sit in the car. I know. I'm a weirdo.

But my guy is in Washington state and I'm in Oklahoma. I haven't seen him since October and it just hit me that he's not here to bolster me when I need support. I felt utterly alone in an ocean full of bodies. And the fatigue from doing too much today got to me.

I know right now that my body is being flooded with hormones and it's normal to be overly emotional, but that didn't stop it from happening.

I just wanna give you your big of hug! I wish we lived closer, I'd come over and we could get chocolate wasted on a whole 3 bites of pudding. (I hope that at least gave you a chuckle. )

Well, not totally. I got up and grabbed a pudding cup too. We just got chocolate wasted 1000 (or however many miles apart we are) apart.

This happened to me too right after surgery. I just wanted to weep like a small child for absolutely NO reason. Your hormones are confused, your body is traumatized and I have read losing weight will release more hormones. Hang in there and just rest. It'll get better!!!

I am 2 days post op. I am not in any pain. The nausea sucks but I am handling it ok. I just feel like part of me has died. I am so depressed. I am sitting here and I feel like my choices have been taken away from me. I can no longer get up and grab whatever I want and put in my mouth. I can no longer sit down and eat normally with my family. I have been home for two dinners so far and I sat in the living room while they ate. I could smell all the food. I am feeling hungry and I don't think that is normal from what I hear. Just feeling pretty sad.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
