Hi Ronette,
I am sorry you are having a tough time. This surely isn't easy.
I am 3 weeks out and really struggling. I ruptured some of my stitches last week from sneezing, I am on pain medication and a lidocaine patch and I can't exercise. It is all I can do to get through the day and suddenly everything is making me nauseous. Yesterday, all I could get down was 1/2 a protein shake, only half of the recommended water and about 8 small bites of food. With every bite or sip I thought I was going to be sick. After all that and the scale went up by almost two pounds this morning. In total, I have lost 33 pounds, but my dress size has not changed at all. Very Frustrating indeed.
I am so thankful for this board as it really helps to inspire and keep your spirits up. Good luck to you and know that we are all struggling through this journey together.
Leslie
