Hi
New to to group and 6 days post op.
Completely off pain killers day 3 Post op. Stomach discomfort though, more from rolling gas than surgery wounds, but not the painful kind of gas just bloating.
Finding myself very drained especially when waking up in the morning, I really have to push myself hard to shower, get dressed and moving.
Clear liquid diet and protein shakes are tough to get in as well, but each day Im finding it gets better. 1st post follow up visit with Dr and Nutr tomorrow. Hopefully phase 2 soft foods...Yummy maybe
Sleeping is a chore and i find myself more comfortable for the most part sleeping in a reclined position propped up on pillows.
I know all these things are to be expected at this stage though tough but are do-able with God's help. I will keep pushing and take one day at a time because I have been blessed with such an awesome privilege and oppurtunity to be healthier.
