I am still continuing to repair well and the antibiotics seem to be agreeing with me. At least the injections are all finished. Luckily two of the children enjoyed injecting me and I only did a few of them. Paul did the initial injection the night before the op.
I still have the battles with my head and some days I seem to want more food than others, but I think the days when I want more food is more dominant and it does scare me. I have friends and acquaintances who I have met through my journey to WLS but I don’t feel I am coping as well as they are mentally. I feel good in myself and I have more energy now but still tire easily and because I am not yet driving I feel so trapped in the house. The snow doesn’t help and I feel so miserable seeing it.
I don’t like going out in it as I always fall over and my knees can’t cope with anymore falls. I do tend to suffer from the Seasonal Affective Disorder in the winter. I am craving a sunny day and to feel warm again. I have a few friends who I chat to regularly and sex is now good again but I think I thought at this stage I would be back to normal.
I had a chat with my doctor and he said that I have to remember that although I had keyhole surgery, it is still major, major surgery and traumatic for the body to go through and it could take up to two years before my body feels totally repaired even if I am unaware of it. I am finding that I constantly want sex and my doctor said that I have transferred my addiction from food to sex.
I am all in favour of as long as I have a willing partner! It could I suppose also be my age as well, as women as supposed to reach their peak in their late forties to mid fifties. The only problem with that is that means I should have married a man much younger than myself instead of one two years older. Now I understand how many women marry men 10-15 years younger than them second time around!
