2 weeks pst Op and need advice

I had my gastric bypass 2 weeks ago and now that I'm home I am wishing I didn't have it. I'm scared and hope things will get better.I am finding myself confused about all the food/when to eat how it makes me feel and then i want to cry.. God please somebody tell me it gets better.

Don't worry it gets MUCH better.  At two weeks out many people are finding themselves confused and worried.  I found that a warm cup of cammomile tea helped.  I will be three years in February and I feel very priviledged to have this surgery.  There are alot of people who have been denied that would love to be in your place.  Take good care of yourself, and get plenty of rest.  I hope you find things will get easier for you with each passing day.

It will get better. You just have to give it some time.  It is over welming at first.  I really would't know what to tell you to eat, because each Dr. has their own guidelines.  I would be sure and take your vitamins, drink your protein, and your water.  I would say jello, and broths.  You could put things in the blender, such as chicken,and peaches.  If you click Forums right here on OH, you should see that there are message boards that could help you better, since allot of them are new surgery people like you are.  You would go to the top where it say's Forums, it is blue, just slide your curser down and allot of forums will show up, including ,diet and nutrition, gastric bypass.  Your going to be fine and it will be worth it. Praying for you Buckeye gal

Hang in there, things will get better. Check with your doctor or nutritionist if you are confused about your food choices. I don't know what your doctor's plan includes, each doctor has there own protocal.  Take care Sher

I so understand where you're at right now b/c I felt the same way for awhile. I kept saying "what the hell did I do to myself?!?!?!" But, things did get better in time. The beginning is hard~your body is in a state of shock, you may be mourning food so  mentally your a mess, its just very stressful all the way around. Hang in there and I promise day by day things will get better and better!!! Don't overdo it, get rest when you can and do the best that you can with getting in your protein and water. ((((((((HUGS))))))))))

Buyer's remorse is so common at your stage.  I had it and so did most.  Please give yourself time and patience.  I promise it gets better.

I can only say that everyone else has said it all.  I felt exactly the same at your stage, and saw others doing really well, feeling great and wondered what was wrong with me as I felt so rough.  The best bit of advice I was given which kept me going was 'this too shall pass'. Hang in there - it really is worth it.  Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself and slowly you will feel the benefits.  It is one amazing journey - really tough for some at times, but life changing (in the BEST possible way). I found being part of my surgery date forum REALLY helpful and have made some great friendships.  Just select teh month and year that you had surgery, so for you November 07 and there you will find others in exactly the same position.

Just about everyone goes through that phase.  "WHY DID I EVER HAVE THIS SURGERY?!?" I had it while I was still in the hospital. But as the pounds melt away, you'll be glad you did it (assuming there are no other medical problems).  The best part is peoples' eyes almost popping out of their heads when they see you fir the first time since the surgery.  :D

As others have said, it does happen this way and it does get better.  I am sure that doesn't make it any easier for you right now though.  I know that when I would start to feel that way, I was usually idle around the house and 'thinking' on the gravity of it all too long.  So, I started walking everytime it happened.  I'd go around the block and feel excited and refreshed.  My neighbors would see me out there so many times a day and cheer me on.  They knew I was 'earning' my surgery so to say.  It helped to get my mind off of it.  That, and warm tomato soup!   Good luck, Rachael

There really isn't much information I can add to what people have already written. I just want to add another voice to the choir.  In the beginning, I cried and wondered the same thing. I felt so miserable and everyone else seemed to be saying they felt like a million buck. Things really did turn around and I have never looked back since. Those first few weeks were my only time of regret. Since then, I have just been grateful for the surgery and wishing I had done it sooner. But it really has been all good. I wish you the best and hope that you find a place of peace really soon. Hugs, Judi C
