Please Tell Me It Gets Better

Ladies first off congratulations on the best decision of your life. I have to say to everyone the first 5 days are the hardest and everyday after that it gets a little better . It took me 6 weeks to starting feeling like myself again and with a little energy . Also I stopped taking those awful pain meds on day 4. They made me feel like I couldn't think straight and after I stopped taking them it took a week for them to get out of my system and I was sick to my stomach and nausea everyday . That being said I'm 5 months out and down 77.5 pounds and went from a size 22/24 to a 12/14 and I couldn't be happier . My life is so much better and yours will be too. Just take it easy and one day at time .

Thanks such an inspiration. Today for me is day 7 post op and so far it's been an amazing day. I'm on Protein based liquids per my doctor - move to full liquid tomorrow yay! So far today I've done 24 oz liquid and 23 grams protein (about 1/3rd where my dr wants me at daily)

SleeverSue- Thank you so much! I just felt like I had to share and tell my story . I know what everyone is going thru I cried all day on day 5. It was my worst day but then it got better everyday after. It was the best thing I ever did !

Yes it does! I'm 7 weeks post op and I feel good! Hurts a bit if I eat too fast and my stomach still makes very weird noises but that's about it! Hang in there!
