Breaking down

[Amforshort 14]

I don't know what changed.

I'm 7 days post-op from a band to sleeve revision. I've been doing great surgically but came down with bronchitis. Nothing has bothered me with other people eating around me. Pre-op, post-op diets all went/going well. I took a little nap and I just came into the living room with my family and I was hit with the huge smell of food and everyone is eating. I almost fell over it was so strong. I started bawling. I couldn't stop. Weirdest thing. Tearing up now writing this. I sat down and thought "what I have done? I can't be like this and break down like a toddler for the rest of my life." Please tell me I'm normal and it will pass. I want this. I've worked so hard for this. But I broke down today and that's not normal. I'm still sticking to my Water, broth, and nebulizer for now. Thanks for letting me vent.

Totally normal and it will pass! I remember having a breakdown driving by a Golden Corral restaurant a few days after surgery. I'd never been to one before, never wanted to go to one before, but the fact that there were people inside who could enjoy a buffet while I was stuck sipping liquids was just too much for me to handle at that moment. It's funny when I think about it now but at the time I was a wreck! The sensitivity to smells goes away too. Hang in there. It really does get better

Hi there! Cheer Up, Sister ! I'm so sorry to hear about the bronchitis - keep on breathing , really ... you went through a big experience - surgery, anaesthesia, and someone to talk with in real space is so important. My husband doesn't cook big meals and eats in a separate space as I heal. The smells make me crazy! Can you do something kind for yourself? Take some herbal tea and find some tasty broths... i got a vaporizer and some essential oils to claim my space. Meditation and an afternoon nap ... can you tell your family how you feel and ask for what you want and need? Do you have a counselor ? So I had surgery on 8/8/17 and got a sore throat and cough for 3 days - i cried and journaled about it. I do feel alone - no doubt. Eating is so connected with community and comfort. I ask for hugs .. i am sad about not having raw veggies - so i chewed some cucumber until i spit it out and then made some cucumber water ... i ordered Protein waters on Amazon and make jellos with unflavored dry protein and dilute cranberry juices -/ You Can Do This ... You Know Why You Did It ... Love Yourself for your Courage.
Thats what I'm going do - One Day At A Time.
Cheers!
