3.5 Days Post-Op and Starting to Feel Scared; Looking for Honest Advice
Hey everyone, I’m currently about 3.5 days post-op from my surgery and if I’m being honest, I’m starting to get a little scared/anxious. Before surgery, almost everything I saw online was super positive and motivating. But now my TikTok feed is suddenly full of people saying they regret it, became depressed, can’t enjoy food anymore, feel isolated socially, etc. and it’s really getting in my head.
So I wanted to ask people who are further along in recovery being completely honest, do any of you regret it? What were some real cons or unexpected struggles you experienced? Do the pros outweigh the cons for you overall?
And lastly, if you have any advice or tips for someone this early in recovery, I’d really appreciate it. Right now I’m just trying to take things day by day.
Thank you.
