3 days post op!

Well today is my 3rd day since surgery and I am starting to feel a little better. Fortunately, I did not have issues with gas pains although I took a the Gas-x strip anyway. My main isssue has been soreness-but that's getting better too. Getting all my liguids in has been a real effort since I get that sensation that I need to stop. I haven't been real hungry-butthe bacon that my daughter is cooking right now does smell good! lol

We have been invited to a friends BBQ-no one there knows about my surgery. The only person that knows at this point is my hubby, but I eventually tell my daughters (19 & 24). ANyway I have mixed feelings about the BBQ-part of me wants to get out of the house. The other part thinks it might be too soon after surgery. I won't be able to eat at all-we told them I have a stamach virus which isn't a complete lie since I have Gastretious (sp). I guess I'll take a shower and see how I feel.

Don't push it too much. You might feel okay pain wise but you may be weak still. If you get tired or shaky, take it easy.

wow you're doing great i didnt wanna leave the house till day 5. i wasnt hungry so people eating some of my favorite foods in front of me didnt bother me at all. i say if you have the energy go for it, but maybe dont stay as long as you would normally.

Let us know how it goes!
