So I'm not going to lie... a week ago at this time I was NOT doing well! I was in the hospital 6 days total and felt pretty okay there. But once I got home the nausea started, as did the "rapid dumping" and every day at some point I regretted my decision. I didn't understand why I was feeling sicker by the day, why I felt worse at one week out than at 2 days out, I hated all my pain and not being able to lay down in bed, and I was getting more and more discouraged.
But thankfully a few days ago things started to take a turn for the better! My pain has lessened, other than about a small 2 hour stint last night I haven't felt nauseous since Sunday and I'm moving up in the stages with my eating! I still get exhausted when I over do it but I am finally able to say I'm happy I did it!! Eating is weird now, and I definitely need to get to used to not drinking when I eat...something I'm finding myself missing for sure. But I love that eating is weird cuz now it's not a huge part of my life like it was before.
Between having strep right before my surgery, being in the hospital almost a week, and then recovery afterward I went two weeks without being outside or doing anything really. It was awful! I'm happy to say I can now get in and out of the car without pain and have my social life back! - just in time too cuz I go to work on Monday!
I'm feeling better every day, losing weight every day and excited to keep on!
