Regreting everything

I am so miserable today I am regretting this hole process!!! I am 25 days out and I am in so much pain!! I can't move or get up that is seems like my stitches are gonna open or that I am gonna explode!! The pain goes away after 10 seconds or so, it seems like it has to adjust, but it is making me crazy!! My doctor said that this is normal, that I am healing, but until 3 days ago I wasn't feeling a thing!! My pain tolerance is very low and I am so unhappy right now that I am wishing I hadn't done the RNY. And it doesn't help that I don't notice any of my loss. I mean I see the number on the scale but my clothes are the same size and when I look in the mirror I see absolutely no difference. I am just so disappointed and have been crying nonstop... I just had to vent...

I am sorry you're having trouble. Did you have an open procedure?

No, I didn't...but thank you for your words

Aw wow. I'm sorry you are in pain. I was in pain for the first 3 weeks. And nauseous for 4. I had many days when I was not doing so great also. But it will get better. Take some pain meds and rest. Be kind to yourself. You can do this! Hope you feel better!

Thank you so much!! I hope so too!!

 I am so sorry!  I had pain similar to what you describe and found a spanx type compression tank top and/or abdominal binder really helpful.  My pain disappeared right around the 4 week mark.  Good luck!

I really hope that my pain goes away as well!! Thank you, I'll try that

I know exactly what you are saying i was thinking the same thing. I am also 25 days out and I can really identify with what you are saying. YES the pain is normal, I am having the same pain, I went to my doctor twice to check on the pain to make sure it was normal. They said it was nerve pain and that explains why it hurts mostly when you move or bend. I was told it goes away around four weeks so I am looking forward to that soon.

I havent noticed any real difference in my clothes either, I see the weight change on the scale but it really has no meaning. My thoughts are more consumed with vitamins, protein, water and bowel movements. The last couple of days I have pushed myself to get up and move around more and it has really helped.  Go ahead and let yourself cry and get out your emotions, I too was very regretful when I wasn't feeling well. Just Know that you WILL get better  it just takes time.  You are not alone.

Thank you so much for your words, it really means a lot to know that someone is feeling the same way as you are! I am going to the doctor again on monday because I really can't stand the pain even though he said it was normal, but I am hoping it goes away soon.

Don't worry about the scale. You are at the dreaded "three week stall" point.  Search for it on the site and you will see plenty of people in the same boat!!
