tekjr1 22 Posted April 3, 2014 As of today, I am 48 hours post. I'm feeling fairly well for a major surgical procedure. Released from hospital yesterday around 3 pm and home around 4. Most of discomfort is originating from laparoscopic punctures. Also some sharp moderate pains that come and go which I believe are gas. Walking is my friend. Last night before bed, I tried to walk 20 laps around the pool. Felt some pulling type of pain on the largest incision. Stopped, took my pain med and slept well from approximately 10 p until 5a. Tried to walk some more this am and felt well until about lap 15. Good news is I'm doing ok on my fluids. By 6a, I have almost consumed 20 of my 40 required ounces. No appetite for food and no head hunger. Just hoping for a little progress each day. Hopes this helps anyone who is looking at surgery in the near future.

tekjr1 22 Posted April 3, 2014 Lynne, good luck. My best advice is to start moving as soon as you can after recovery. I think it was my key to getting a good head start. I'm sure you will be doing great in no time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
