Getting nervous about surgery
Congrats, I am 9 days post op and I can say the first few days after surgery were a real struggle. I ended up in the ER due to gas (I thought I was dying). But I can say every day is getting a little easier and a little better. I stopped my pain pills about day 6. Everyone's journey is a little different and there are ups and downs. I do not regret my decision this far out. I will tell you with me I had to get unflavored protein the sweet stuff I just cannot due. And really start working on sipping( like when you sip hot tea) this was one of my biggest hurdles and try to sit up straight when you eat or drink. I had open bypass which was painful. I have not thrown anything up but have had a bit of dumping from dairy. Don't let anyone take this from you. It is not easy but I do believe my health and future is well worth the pain and discomfort I have been through so far which is just beginning.
