Re: Will I ever feel like myself again???

[Guest guest]

Yes, it will get better. I thought for a while my insides would never feel normal. All of a sudden one day I realized they did. I don't remember exactly when it was but it will happen. Aside from a little bit "louder" stomach at times, I now feel "normal".

Maureen,

What you feeling is normal. Recovery is not quick, but one day you

will wake up and feel better. It is always darkest before the dawn.

I am 11 weeks post-op and I feel great. I almost feel like I didn't

have surgery. I am amazed at the amount of food I can eat. I eat

what ever I want although I do keep protein on the top of the list.

I know exactly how you feel! I thought I'd never feel " good " again!

Well, I'm 11 weeks post-op & for about the last week or two, I've

been feeling pretty good for the most part. I feel almost " normal " .

For your nausea, you might want to try some ginger tea or try sucking

on some crystalized ginger. You can get them both at a health food

store. It helped me. I had about 3 days where I had " morning

sickness " but ALL DAY LONG! I think it had to do with the hormones

being released from the fat & they were hitting me all at once.

Hang in there & I hope you feel better soon. Also, getting back to

work & in a regular routine has also helped me. I don't have so much

time to sit around feeling sorry for myself anymore.

Take care,

Cheri
