OMG! Finally starting to feel better. I have no idea why I thought the recovery would be easier. Day of surgery was OK as was my same day release. Got home and things were still pretty good. Next day, not so bueno. And every day after that, until today-not so bueno. I was warned that day three was usually the worst due to the healing of the port, so I was ready for that. Totally not ready for that horrible gassy pain in my entire abdomen. Pure agony! I feel like, I think I handle pain well and then it happens and I DO NOT. My husband got the crazy crying wife for 2 days. However, he did spoon feed me broth and that was really nice, especially since I was so miserable. Well, I am soooo glad to be feeling better today, and I am super glad to be past this part of the journey. I get to start mushies this week. Hello, cottage cheese! I am also going to venture to the mall this week. Instead of flowers I opted for new pants in a smaller size. So I will get some extra walking in and some shopping. I am hoping to start feeling up to some Zumba soon. Prior to surgery I bought a new workout outfit and I am stoked to wear it. My Dr said I could start when I feel up to it, so I hope to start feeling up to it soon! As a side note I am now down 25lbs, as of today. Man O Man, that feels good!

I must say that you make this surgery sound really bad. I'm scheduled for next Monday and just trying to prepare myself. You didn'y say how many days were you feeling so bad?

Glad your feeling better! =)

@ snielsen.. It's not an easy process by any means at all.. The first three days you'll just keep asking yourself what did I.do to myself.. It does get better.. I'm only 5 days post op and feeling so much better.. I can actually get out of bed on my own! As With any surgery the pain is there.. Good luck!! =)

Sorry to be soooo dramatic. As stated in the blog, I do not handle pain well. In fact I am pretty much a baby! My surgery was on Tuesday and I started feeling better on Sunday. I have noticed on other people's blogs that it appeared they had a little easier of time. Everyone heels differently and tolerates pain differently. I agree with Kallison that at some points you do ask why you did this, I actually asked my husband to cut it out of me. Again, I am a drama queen. However, it does get better and it will all be worth it. My pain meds also made me very woozy so I stopped taking them on day 2, as I was terrified to throw up, again. So, obviously didn't help with my pain.

I am sure things will go great for you and I wish you all the best!
