just wondering

How did everyone feel 5 days after surgery? I coach soccer and wondering how I may feel..

It's all over the map. I felt OK, but was very tired! All I can say is try to have a seat available, work in the shade and DO NOT get dehydrated! Best of luck, coach!

It all depends on you. Everyone heals differently. I agree, if you do coach make sure you is not in the sun and have a bottle of Water or Protein Drink with you. Personally for me five days out I was still feeling bad. I didn't drive until seven days out. Good luck and take care.

I know everyone is different just trying to see how you guys felt thanks!

I second arts' advice...I felt ok but didn't have a lot of energy to get out and about...I recall that around that time I had someone drive me to the store, and that little outing tired me out...I was also still trying to adjust to getting in the required Protein and liquids...physically, though, I had very little discomfort and pain--was blessed in that regard...best to you!

I felt terrible and could not have imagined doing anything much, so i'm always so envious when I hear of people feeling great a few days out. I had another major surgery a few years back and was on my feet in no time. As the others have said, it is hard to predict and everyone is different. I wish you a speedy recovery! :-)

Surgery is a trauma to your body, but we all heal differently. You need to take it easy, make sure sutures are healing well. If you can coach and just sit around for an hour or so, maybe, but I highly recommend you find someone to help or cancel.

I cant take a chair and observe and sip my drink I hope..

I was still in the hospital due to complications. If you can set up a sub just in case, I'd recommend that. This coming from someone who other than excess weight, had a clean bill of health (no co-morbs) prior to surgery.

You just never know.

What was your complications?

I felt pretty good. A little pain but not too bad. Seems everyones different.

I'm doing great at 10 weeks post options. No complications, getting in all my Water and Protein. So far there's been nothing my stomach can't handle in small portions. I'm exercising most days and losing weight (in kind of a stair step pattern. ) I've lost 36 lbs since surgery and 77 lbs so far this year. Went from a size 28 to a size 20. I feel great.

I had the surgery but the staple line at the top was closed up too tight. I could not even pass liquid. So back in they went to open me back up. During the repair, I woke up and started vomiting. So they had to come back out and put me back under...then they went back in to repair all the damage I did from the vomiting. Beyond painful!

In the hospital for 5 whole days. Couldn't even do liquids by mouth for almost a week. Out of work for a month.
