I'm so emotional!



Recommended Posts

Ok. I admit it. Right now I'm happy as a lark. 30 min ago not so much. I did the unthinkable and literal was screaming at the top of my lungs at my HS senior son while my younger son had a guest over. I mean I tore into the kid. And he's a really good kid. He had his wisdom teeth out Thursday and I've been caring for him since. He is a PIA when he is sick or down. Very very anal, type A kind of kid and normally I can deal with it. I practiced dentistry for 20 years. I think I know my stuff lol. But he has questioned me every step of the way since the surgery about meds, foods to eat, cleaning his mouth you name it. You'd think he'd flipping believe me!!! His gf also had hers out this week. I should say both her parents are dentists as well. But apparently they know better than I. Ginas mom had her do this, Ginas doctor told her that.

Well. I lost it today. And I mean stark raving lunatic mad screaming. I need to apologize to him.

Is this normal post surgery (10 days out)????

I've seen mention in the forums of hormones going cuckoo with the early, rapid weight loss for bypass or sleeve. Someone will come by to talk about it, I'm sure. It may well be what you're experiencing.

Poor mom, poor son! An apology with some explanation seems in order. What really caught my attention is that you and his girlfriend's parents are all dentists. What are the odds unless her parents are friends from dental school? Otherwise you all live in a Twilight Zone town.

You'll be fine.

Nope! Lol. There were three dental schools in Chicago way back then- I went to Northwestern University the went to University of Illinois about 5 years ahead of me!

I did hugely apologize to him. He accepted, hugged me and said its ok. What a kid. I'm going to miss the heck out of him next fall. All of him but the anal retentive part lmao.

Thanks for the words of encouragement too!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
