“Not Sure How I Feel - San Bernardino, CA”

Not Sure

Posted 18 Jun 2011
Had surgery on June 13,2011, and it hasn't even been a week and I am having second thoughts whether this was the decision for me. I feel guilty that I don't want to cook for my family, nor to I have alot of energy to do anything with my daughter. Maybe this is only a temporary feeling and I truly hope it will pass, since I only had the surgery to get rid of my diabetes and as of right now, I am still on meds.

Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your review. Going through any surgery is a big deal, it's normal for you to be feeling tired and to not have much energy. The type of surgery you've had will also restrict your appetite and at least in the beginning this will be responsible for not wanting to cook or be around food.
It's still early in your recovery period. I'm sure things will improve for you in time. Has your doctor mentioned when you may come off the meds?
