I keep trting to look past these first few weeks and think to myself just think in 6 months i will be able to wear nice summer clothes and not have to hide myself away. But this all seems so distant.
Are these feeling normal ? or am i just mad.
I also feel as if i have just been forgotten about because i have had such a speedy recovery, i was suppose to have a 2 week follow up ans they hospital forgot about me i have had to chase the appointment up myself, my doctors don't know much about the in's and out's of the operation so they didn't know what vitamins to prescribe me. No wonder i have been feeling so low.
Well that is enough of my moaning for now, i will keep you posted on my success.
Love to all yvonne xxxx
I think this happens to a lot of us. For the first month I was so depressed. My husband and 9 year old daughter can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound. Everytime they ate something I would start to tear up, they didn't want to eat in front of me but I made them! I would cry to my husband and say "I will never eat again, boo whooo whooo". Now I look back and giggle about it. It is the inital shock and getting used to the new you stage. Once you start eating solids, and a more regular diet, it gets better. I would turn back for the world! Hang in there!
