Let me start off with the fact that I am so happy that I finally invested in myself and had surgery done! I was lucky that one of my daughter's was able to have the surgery done with me. She is doing great and bounced back right away and returned back to work as a Vet Tech with little issues. I have not been so lucky. I have little to no energy and feel nauseous most of the time. I know that this is from my very small intake. My daughter and friend who had the surgery at the same time are taking in at least double to triple what I am. Prior to surgery I suffered with acid reflux... this is a huge problem for me still. My doctor said that sometimes the surgery can irritate the issue, but says over time it should get better. I have a hard time keeping any solids down. I typically can eat about 1/4 cup applesauce for breakfast, 1/2 cup of soup for lunch and dinner. This compared to my daughter and friend can eat a small strip of grilled chicken and an ear of corn for dinner. I find myself being afraid to eat because I hate fighting the sick feeling that follows. Again, my doctor says that this will get better over time. I guess I'm just frustrated because I WANT to feel GREAT!!! I am always weak right now and just want to be able to get out and feel wonderful. I am down 42 lbs so I am ecstatic over that... I just want to physically feel as good as I do mentally.
Is there ANYONE ELSE who has had these issues? How long til you felt "Better"? Thanks Everyone!
