Hey, I had my surgery March 26th. My first week of recovery was horrible (the reason being is because I could not stomach my painkillers). I depended on my high pain tolerance, sitting in the shower under a hot shower and just taking deep breaths. I would say that week 2 was way better. I started drinking my shakes and protein water. I am almost 1 month out and the changes my body has gone through has been amazing. I get a full nights sleep!! I touched my big toe to my nose tonight!! I can walk without having to sit down!! This surgery is the best tool ever. It will not be all Sunshine and rainbows so do prepare for that. The first week I cried at every food commercial I saw lol. You got this.

These were just what I needed to hear. Thanks so much for the encouragement! (And reality check) Keep posting about your progress!!

Jewel, I know the feeling of walking then having to sit that is so my life right now. I dread every step I take. I'm so glad for you. Keep up the great work.
