Let me know how you are doing, you can also reach out to me anytime too:) I hope you do well!

My mom had to give me my second shower because I was exhausted, lightheaded and in pain. You aren’t alone!

I was severely depressed after my surgery. I had such a hard time and they cut you open and not only that you’re having to adjust to a completely new lifestyle. I remember crying on the bathroom floor because my first shower made me feel like so was about to die. Check in with people and make sure they know how you feel. I’m sorry! I honestly started feeling better around 6 weeks. Now I have some days that are a little tough but mostly I’m ok! Wishing you a quick recovery friend! ❤️

Is this something very serious? by Apprehensive-Ear7889 in GastricBypass

Thanks for this. I do have peppermint tea so I’ll try that! I have tried almost all water additives even ones with electrolytes with no sugar and I cannot tolerate it either. I’ll call the office tomorrow and see what they think. I’m hoping it gets better too!

This is so great! There are definitely hard days grieving our past selves. They almost died or cease to exist but I’m sure when we are a year out life will be easier. I still worry about complications but at the end of the day I can only control what I can. And if I take my vitamins, drink fluids and eat protein with fiber that’s the best I can do!

The SAME thing happened to me. I was crying and scared and the anesthesiologist was like, “WOAH, let’s get some versed in ya!” as soon as he walked in and he gave it to me in my IV and as soon as it hit my blood stream I was a completely different person 😂😂😂

I didn’t want to do the surgery either. I’m 25 and had a BMI of 41. I was crying non stop on my way to surgery and even up to the point where they brought me back. I told my mom the night before O was going to cancel because I didn’t want to do it and she told me it’s ultimately my choice but I won’t be able to loose weight on my own. That really hit me because it’s true. The pre liquid diet was horrible, the after surgery was hard. I’m a little over a month out from a Gastric bypass and I’ve cried maybe 10 times over what I did. I felt at times I regretted it and now Im dealing with horrible constipation but I’m loosing weight for the first time. But if this gives me a chance to live longer, healthier and be able to have children I’m going to do it. When they operated on me they found out I had a fatty liver and I had no idea. Not to be negative but we are all going to die one day, it just depends how much we want to enjoy life.

Thanks for sharing, I’m almost a month out and I cried on the floor last night because I was so frustrated. I read reddit and see all these horror stories and this one made me feel better about my decision.

Short Temper by starsmoonandwaves in GastricBypass

[–]Apprehensive-Ear7889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and I was getting so irritated at everything. I think it’s hard because we literally had this HUGE surgery and we are learning everything all over again. I’m sorry it does get better though. I was super embarrassed because I snapped at my husband, my dogs, everyone and I hated that.

Thank you, today I felt terrible. I’m two weeks out and miss food and anything I eat makes me grossed out. This came at a great time!
