6 days post-op and MISERABLE - need a Pep Talk

Hang in there, sweetie! I hope you're feeling a little better today. Migraines are horrid, even worse when you just had surgery. I'm now 8 weeks out and I definitely have bad days. But I'm down about 40 lbs, the hip pain I had is gone and I'm starting to get more energy. I'm still on mushies for now, but hopefully can transition into real food next week (although I admit I'm a little scared to do it).

I do get the days where I'm like "what the HELL did I DO to myself!?!?" I had it this morning after puking last night (post medicine...that was unpleasant). But then I come here, or talk to my friends who have been through it, and it helps. I also ordered some cognitive behavior therapy workbooks as was recommended by the couselor who did my pre-op psych clearance (she was a Lap-Bander, so the recommendations she made were from personal experience). Hopefully those will help.
