One month post op today - and not a good one!

Dec 07, 2010

Today is exact 4 weeks since I had my surgery. If this is the best decision i've ever made??? - The jury is still out on this one.

In the mean time, I m having a miserable time every day.

I was so happy after the surgery, no pain, and no complications doing very well.

Two weeks after I ended up in ER with a blood clot on my leg and the hell broke loose since then.

Feel tired and exhausted all the time, for making even more than 5 steps.

I’ve been eating probably less than 400 cal a day and gain 5 lb since the blood clot. The weight doesn’t go down, the food doesn’t down, and nothing seems to work.

I can have liquids and soups, maybe 3 crackers, one won ton at the most and 3 little small pieces of chicken the most.

Every time I eat something I feel so bad nauseated and need to lay down on my chair and wait over one hour to have the bad feeling go away. If I drink water after 30-40 min everything come back up!

I hate the feeling and I hate this complication, especially when I wasn’t expected for all this hard time.

I was supposed to go back to work 2 weeks ago and I can’t walk from my car to the elevator without getting short of breath, dry mouth and feeling miserable.

Even at my highest weight I never run short of breath and feel so week.

I m keep saying things will get better but at this moment doesn’t look like.

I’m beginning to think that if this is how my life is going to be from now on I made a huge mistake with the surgery.

Sorry sounds so pessimistic but this is the truth with my situation.

Even all of it would have worth it if I would lose some weight, but no instead I gain some.
