I'm having a bad day... 10 days post HALO op

So before I dive into details and such I want to start by saying I am a 25 y/o male from the UK, I had 2 internal hems for less than 1 year, they caused me no pain or discomfort, the only thing they did was bleed when I had a BM. I previously had them banded however this did not work and my doctor immediately recommended surgery.

I'm currently on day 10, I am feeling like this will never end, I am angry at the doctor for even suggesting this surgery at the stage I was at and im very angry with myself for doing no research on the recovery. Before this I had only cried once in my adulthood, since the OP I have cried almost every day, infront of my girlfriend and my family. The last 2 nights I thought I was improving but today I have had 5 BM and the pain is still really high. I'm sat here looking at foods I cannot eat and once again, crying. Reading most of the discussions on this page it seems most people have been lied to about the recovery and are in the same boat as me, however they all seem to stop posting after a few weeks.

Please can someone who is maybe a month or two down the line please share their experience. I've never felt so bad and need help.

    it will get better i promise. i am on week 5 and had 2 huge ones removed. the pain following was literally torture. i did not cry from childbirth or since i was a child but i sobbed for 2 days after this mess. i was still having pain bad up until about 2 weeks but i have only recently been able to poop without crying and getting in the tub. i noticed the pain is worse the more you poop. one of two soft bms would be great. its so hard foe the area to heal as we desecrate it every day using the washroom. it does get better but it feels like forever. i think i will need one more surgery and am already dreading it. hang in there
