Struggling 3 months post op RNY

Since day 1 ive been miserable. I had to have 2 dilations, IV a few times for nutrition and fluids. Hospitalized for days. Then had to have emergency gallbladder removal which has made my stomach issues even worse. Constant bathroom trips daily now. My mental health is so bad right now because I feel so defeated. I am scared to eat because I don't know how my body will react at any point now. It's hard for me to talk to people about it (counselor). Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through such a rough time. Sounds like you've been through the wringer, and it's totally understandable to feel defeated.

First off, give yourself some credit - you're dealing with a lot, and it's okay to feel scared and overwhelmed. You've been strong just making it through all this.

I know it's hard to talk about stuff like this, especially when you're feeling so low, but opening up to a counselor can really help. They're there to listen and support you, without any judgment.

As for the food situation, maybe try to stick to super simple, bland foods that are easier on your stomach. It might help ease some of the anxiety around eating. And stay hydrated - that's key.

Most importantly, be kind to yourself. It's okay to take things one step at a time. You're not alone in this, and reaching out for advice is a great first step. Keep your head up, and don't hesitate to lean on those around you for support. You've got this.
