Congrats!!

You know I think it depends on your job...but I think I could have worked after 9 days. Sometimes it is Mind over Matter, thinking positive and doing what they say. :) Seems simple right? BUT, I see other blogs and chats about people figuring out how to cheat, and I think WHAT? As if the surgery wasnt Drastic enough why would you cheat?? lol

ok..anyway, MY TIPS: Getting up as soon as you they let you and walking is a BIG help!! Pain meds-take em' your body heals best when not in pain. Just dont get a false sense of doing more, rest up.

I found using a pillow to hold against your tummy when getting up was a big help. Also not trying to sit straight up, roll to your side, bent knees, push up with your arms and just be slow.

For me my 'kicked by a mule' feeling was about a week, I still get sore if I do too much, at almost a month out. But never more than uncomfortable.

Vitamin E oil for the scars when your bandages come off really helps. And WALK walk walk...the more you walk it seems to relieve many pains. THat is all I got! :)

I really just DID it 110%, I feel good, and my pants are falling off, so what more could a girl ask for!? lol
