I had my surgery on March 21st (6 days ago) and the first 2-3 days were hell, i kept asking myself why i did this? I regrettted my decision then but today i feel alot better, and dont regret it. I know its too early to tell whats to come but i hope you feel better soon. Im constantly walking and drinking drinking drinking water all the time. Thats my side kick, i carry my bottle water with me everywhere i do. I know its hard, but trust me the water and walking helps with getting the gas out of your system. Today i woke up craving scramble eggs....but im still on liquids (water, clear broths/soups, and popsicles) so hopefully after my doctors visit next week i can enjoy some mushes. My hardest thing right now is that im missing real food. I have been tempted but im too afraid to eat anything and prolonging my healing. So my advise for you is to stay positive, contact your doctor if things get too bad with the pain, walk as much as possible and drink drink drink your water. Good luck and keep us posted........each day brings us closer to the day we wont feel any pain. Hugs!
