First time hello

[mama43]

Hi I am one week 1 day post rny surgery. I feel realy good for the most part and haven't had much trouble at all. I think like most people I am so bored of the shakes and protien drinks that I'd rather anything else. I tried some cream soup today and it was delicious. i have begun to eat 1 scrambled egg at a time. But I never seem able to finish it. Right now the hardest thing that I am going through are my emotions. WOAAHHH... So much has been coming to the surface and usually I just ate them right under again but now I can't and I find my self wanting to run. Just put on my sneakers and run. I don't know how to deal with these things and so I am doing alot of crying.. My husband doesn't understand it. I try to explain it to him but it's hard for him to grasp. Is anyone else having any of these issues.

Nothing will ever be the same. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to make that much of a change in your life. You and your family have a great adjustment and changes to make. I pray you and yours can deal with the pressure with grace and joy. Congratulations on making that first step.

cheers

Plus I think your body has gone through tremendous hormonal changes. Just do one day at a time. It will pass.

Hi and congrats on the surgery. Your emotions will calm down in the coming weeks. For now the best thing to do is to find a way to handle them without turning to food. I found going for a walk really helped when I was feeling stressed. Let us know how you're doing.

At my visit with psych to prepare for surgery he said this happens often. He recommended that if I have any issues to seek psych care and not think it was unusual. Surgery often increases your emotions no matter what the surgery is. What brand of protein are you using? I am looking for ideas to be ready for post-op. Good luck, remember nothing is wrong with crying.
