5 days post-op and feeling like crap!

Jan 10, 2011

I'm 5 days post-op and still feel like crap.  I was due to go back to work yesterday, but it has now been pushed to Monday as I still have a lot of pain in my port area and gas that just won't dissapate.  I also have a horrible headache today (dehydration?).  I had WLS in order to improve my health and I am just praying for light at the end of the tunnel.  I read about so many people who were feeling like their "normal" selves by day 5 and i just want to be one of them!  I'm just so frustrated.  I keep telling myself it will get better but it's so hard to keep feeling that way.  I have been wanting this surgery for so long.  I did tons of research and totally knew what I was in for..............or so I thought!  I need to remind myself it could be so much worse, and that it will get better................I hope!  I want to go to a support group meeting but can't find one until I go back to work, and I work nights so I won't be able to make it.  Are the others who struggled as I have?  Did they have success in the long run?  I would like to know!  In the meantime, I will try to take it one day at a time and look to a brighter tomorrow.
