hang in there
First of all it's only been 3 weeks, there's a major major amount of healing going on in your body. Added to that, it's doing it in starvation mode.
Non-suportive family and friends.... I guess the easy thing to say is that you knew going in they probably wouldn't be supportive so now what? it took me almost 11 months to get to a place where I could at least fake feeling good enough to live life... my family was super sick of it. It passes.
The other person taht seems to have gotten a free ride? Well if you really did your research then you know that what you are experiencing is very normal for post RNY. This other person is of the very small majority.... like 5% that have zero complications.... it would have been nice if I had been lucky enough to get that but ...nope it's wasn't meant to be. And more importantly shame shame on her for cheating her way into this surgery. There are rules and guidelines for a reason, personally if i were talking to her, I'd call her an idiot. Yes I really mean that and if that person is reading this please feel free to tell me and I'll address you directly.
That's the harsh part...
On a more sympathetic note... I feel your pain both literally and figuratively. I'm almost 2 years post op and I have had problems since day 20. I've had maybe 5 days in the past 2 years where I didn't feel some level of nauseua at least one point in the day. I've had pain under my left ridcage area since Nov of 2006, worsen with food and fluids. Some days it hurts so bad I end up in the ER but they can never find anything wrong with me. I now have hypoglycemia and a host of other fun things... but my blood work and exams always look normal.... go figure.
It will get better. Just take deep breathes, walk sip rest and repeat until it's bedtime. it might take a while but even someone with as much crap as I have been through is managing to make it.... you can too.
