Six Days Post-Op and Feeling Almost "Normal"

[MSCoastRPh 11]

I had my surgery Monday, Dec 10, and came home Tues night. Stayed with a friend til Thurs then came home Thurs morning. I haven't had any bad surgical pain, just the typical gas pains, but not enough to need pain meds. I haven't been hungry since the surgery but getting my 64 oz of Fluid and 60-80gms of Protein in by Wed. Started back driving Thurs with no problem. Also started back to gym on Thurs with a slow walk on treadmill for 15 min. Up to 32 min on treadmill and 18 min on Arc Trainer on Saturday. Haven't weighed yet because several people on here recommend waiting 2 weeks to let overload of fluids in hosp come off. With all this being said, I really feel good. I am so glad I took the leap and had the surgery. I go back to work in a week and feel confident I will have this sipping down so that I can still get in all my fluids at work. Merry Christmad everyone!!

It is good to hear a positive story. I have surgery tomorrow and the things that can go wrong/could go wrong during and after are weighing on me.
