amcdowell779 70 Posted April 20, 2013 Good luck to the rest of you in April. I had my surgery April 8th so I'm on day 12 post op. struggling with the liquids because that's all it is. Not enough variety, but I'm trying to buy different Soups and strain them and purée them just for different tastes. I'm sorry to hear some of you are experiencing pain. It does get better every day. I'm having very little pain at my incision sites but nothing inside. I went bowling today- carefully- and did just fine. Only one game though. Well good luck everyone!! Your day will be here before you know it. 1 Vanna reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaye1464 70 Posted April 20, 2013 The first week or two r the hardest This is the only surgery I've ever had so I count myself lucky to not have the experiences you are all having with the pain. I haven't gone in for my checkup with the doctor yet but I'm ready to get back to work, and hope he will okay me next week. I'm a teacher so there's only a few weeks left. I am starting week 2 tomorrow post op and will do full liquids, looking forward to the shakes again. Get up and moving as soon ass soon as you can. Also try the foot and ankle exercises while you are sitting to avoid any clots. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
