Chubbyklink 18 Posted December 23, 2014 I feel just blah today. I am 6 days post op and yesterday was a really good day. My shake and Water actually tasted good, I was interested in food. Today , I just want to stay in bed. I feel cold (I am NEVER cold) I haven't even drank enough liquids to get all my meds down, I'm not sleeping well at night, and my side incision is still rather sore..just feeling blah....

ProjectMe 909 Posted December 23, 2014 I am 7 days post op & have blah moments too. I am saying moments because sometimes you have to pick yourself up, drink, and then move. Staying hydrated and moving your body will make you feel better. Stepping outside for a few minutes and breathing fresh air will lift your spirits. Staying in bed all day will prolong that blah feeling. You can do it! Upsy daisy!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itzmzparker 0 Posted December 23, 2014 Ditto to what @@ProjectMe said. I am 5 weeks post op and somedays are better than others. Begin the habit of going outside to get a breath of fresh air. Whether its cold or sunny - it will do you some good. I've learned that it helps me clear my head of the negative crap I tend to think about. You got it! Kick that blah feeling outta there! Happy Holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4Anna 7 Posted December 23, 2014 I am also 8 days post-op and have had up and down feelings. However, I try to remind myself that I just had major surgery and give myself a break. I had a dog which helps me get up and out. But then I do get tired and have had challenges of getting my liquids and Protein. So i drink a glass of milk in the morning w GENEPRO which is unflavored and a great tri-peptide protein source. That helps because without protein we will feel tired. Friends who have had this surgery tell me to take it easy because we really do need to heal first. Depression can come too just because of the physical and hormonal changes so I'm actually sitting at my acupuncturist waiting for my appointment It's amazing how much this helps. Take care all and enjoy the holidays!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
