Emotional Rollercoaster....
I don't to write a book here but if you read my blog you will get the jest of it... I'm stuggling with the forcing myself to eat/drink....
My binder is driving me crazy and the healing in one itchy process..... My husband was supposed to go back to work tomorrow but was allowed to take leave until mid week. I'm afraid for him to go back to work and I don't know why...
so many emotions I just can't process everything it feels like. I'm trying to stay positive but lately I have been debbie downer and just can't find the joy in anything anymore. I think maybe it's lack fo sleep still but I just don't know..

Tommie, the emotional aspects post-op are tough, been there done that so we do understand. Just know this is temporary, and you will survive. Right now you are stressed, scared, not hungry, etc. but you must sip water and get in as much protein as you can.
Are you measuring you intake? Maybe the beans were to much for you, and then again you may just have a very particular pouch and it'll take some time. Does your surgeon allow protein shakes, if so be sure to supplement with them right now? If you don't have enough protein your body will be exhausted and the recovery from anesthesia is tough on you right now too.
Again, hang in there......it gets better; I think you may be expecting to much too soon on your rocovery, don't be so hard on yourself.

hi Tommie
ok what you are feeling is perfectly normal. You are what... a week out from surgery? im assuming you had open surgery since you mentioned a binder. I promise it gets better! You are hardly getting any nutrition, barely getting water, and you just had MAJOR surgery and you have lack of sleep! Of course you feel like crap! Also, im assuming, from the pic on your profile, you have a house full of children to deal with? Good grief, i would be a raving mess!!! It gets better!!
As for the beans, i will be honest. when i was a week out, i was still doing liquids!, i couldnt eat anything that resembled solid food, maybe you are the same? Dont pu**** .. are you doing protein shakes at all? im not familiar with your docs diet sheet. If you are, then go back to those, maybe that will help you
Keep checking in wiht us.. i promise, it gets better!

When I was born, I cried and the world rejoiced. Now i wanna live my life so that when I die, the world cries and I rejoice
Just know you are NOT alone with your feelings....just about every post op I know has gone throught the same feelings. There is a "I can't believe I did this to myself" stage and looks like you are righ there. As much as everyone can say it WILL get better...I know it is hard to believe right now! Take it one day (or one ounce-as I had to do) at a time and you will get through it. ~~~
