I am now a little over 4 weeks post op. The first couple of weeks were very hard. I had little to no pain with the actual surgery and went back to work after 5 days. The hard part has been the lack of food. I spent a few days feeling sorry for myself and asking myself "what the hell did I do?" along with a lot of tears and emotions. But it is getting much easier with each day. I am down 25 pounds so far and this is the first time I can ever remember losing this much at one time. I am no longer asking myself that question and just take each day as it comes. The protein intake is still hard to accomplish each day but after another meeting with my nutritionist I have more ways to 'sneak' the protein into my day. I am looking forward to the future and finding the energy that I once had come back to me.
