Lonely

I am in a great relationship...very happy...but now with the surgery done (8/24)...I am feeling lonely. All is gone extremely well. I can drink and eat and I have a ton of energy...but I am lonely. I would like to start a pen-pal relationship to discuss wl and wl situations....

You have mail. David

HI DANIEL Good for you for reaching out. Most of us here have experienced that feeling along with a bunch more emotions that seem to bombard us after the surgery.. not sure why, but they do and this is a good spot to get some love.

Hi Daniel! You are among friends here. This is the most friendly and supportive board on OH in my humble opinion! Whatever you need to say, feel free to do so. We are all here for you! Carol

Thank you all for your recent posts. It is greatly appreciated. Life is great. After only one week, I went back to work. I am a teacher. It was and is a little rough, but I am okay. It just seems as if the pressures of life are intensified. I am so nervous that I am doing something wrong. I don't really sip..I drink. I don't gulp..but I don't sip. I can eat a teaspoon of puree which I try not to. I don't have to eat, wait five minutes, eat, wait five minutes, etc.... I am terrified that after only two weeks I have stretched my stomach...or that I have done this or that. The weight is coming off..and I am staying away from the scale. I don't want to become number obsessed..even though I am. I am concerned about costs...vitamins, minerals, etc.. I think about iron and constipation. Do I eat too many little meals or do I just eat 3. I feel I am living my regular life...and then I am living my gastric life. Two seperate that are fighting for normalcy...yet instead of working together are working against one another. I know that it all takes time. I realize that. And I realize that it will get better...but right now, I am not seeing next week... I am having a hard enough time looking at tomorrow. BUT, I know that with the friends that I make here and in other avenues that I will get through this. Sometimes I think it would be easier to suffer then be blessed with the goodness and health that I am feeling....
