This is really not a question, but I really need to talk to some people that may

understand what I've been feeling these past few weeks. I had an open RNY on 09/17/03. At a wk and half out I came down with colitis. Took some meds, it went away, but resurfaced about a week later and worse than the first episode. I ended up in the hospital again for a few days. The discouragement had started right before I ended up in the hospital the second time. Dealing with the severity of the abd. pain and diarrehea for almost a month, I got so weary, weak, and tired. At that point, I guess I hit the phase of "what have I done to myself," and wished I never had this surgery done. Since that time I have found myself more often than not, wishing I didn't have the surgery done because I'm tired of trying to get the fluids in I need, I miss eating, I'm tired of feeling tired. I don't mean to sound so whiney, but this is the truth. (I know there are many of you that have had more tougher times than I and I sympathize with you greatly) I just want to get out of this mode of regret and move on. I would really like to hear from some of you that may have had similar experiences and what did you do to pull yourself out of this place. Thank you for hearing me out.
