Losing it today!

I am just losing it today. I am in tears. I feel like I'm never going to be able to get all these fluids and protein and supplements and meds in to me. I haven't gotten them all one day yet. I have been frustrated and yelling at the kids. I am losing, but I am starting to wish I hadn't done this today. Linda Vicory

Linda, I did the exact same thing. I think its that you wait and plan so long to have this done, then in the hospital everyone is so supportaive and wonderful, then you get home, your in pain, can't get everything down, and this huge decision hits. I think "What Have I done?", happens to a lot of us. I came home on a Friday and Monday was my first post-op appointment. I cried from the moment I got up, all the way to Indy, the whole time I was at the Doc's and all the way home. Believe me this to shall pass. You will be O.K. Dr. C. put me on anti-depresents before I left the hospital, and I couldn't figure out why, I was so happy there. I made sure I stayed on them for a few months. My sad mood only lasted a few days. Then I was O.K. You will be o.k. too. Just keep trying, sip, sip, sip. It will get easier, and I have 3 little kids too, I know how that is. I can tell you I am almost 1 year out and the road has been bumpy, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I hope this helps, and know we have all been there and will be here for you too. Sarah

Linda, I forgot one thing, That first 6 weeks I don't think I ever got all my fluids in either. 1 year out and I still struggle with getting all my fluids in. Sip, Sip, Sip again. Sarah

Hi I hope that you get better soon and this will pass. Remember why you did this, for you to be healthy. I am not sure the ages of your children but mine always seem to act up when I am sick or very stressed and I think that thay feel what we do just act out in a different way. Is your husband back to work do you have anyone who could help with the kids while you get some rest. our thoughts are with you and your family. And if you need anything don't hesitate to ask that is why we are here! Nicole 261/257/245 hoping to have surgery

i did not have kids home so not so sure about those feelings...going to take time to get protein and fluids in...you will do just fine and maybe you need to rest and trying to do to much?

Thanks for the replies. I needed to vent. I appreciate your listening. I am feeling better today. Linda Vicory
