Hi. I'm almost a week post-op and still feel pretty lousy. The pain has decreased but still there. I am getting all my meds, fluids, and Vitamins in. I am struggling to get the Protein in but the doctor told me to make hydration my first priority. I just want to feel better and jump back in to life. Just trying to wipe up the kitchen counters was too much for me pain wise. I miss feeling normal.

It does take a little time to get over the surgery. It took me about 6 months to reach my happy state when all the problems were resolved.

I was also in lots of pain until just a few weeks ago! (I am 3 weeks post op).

Remember, EVERY single day gets better. Every single one.

Hang in there! I am a week post-op also. Just take one day at a time and it will improve a little every day.

I'm six months post op, and while I have no pain, I do have a constant tiredness still that will hopefully resolve sometime in the next month. Your body doesn't mind taking it's sweet time. It gets better from here. :)

Stick to the diet and plan set forth by your doctor and nutritionist. Everyone heals at different rates but you're body will tell you what it's ready to do, and when. Keeping hydrated is great and get as much Protein in as you can to aid in the healing process.

I had my surgery Dec. 8th and a week out I felt lousy and wondered if I had made a mistake but then I turned the corner in week 2 and things have gone really well since then. So happy I made this decision.

Being a guy, we never think anything is going to hurt until it happens and then we are going, "I didn't know this would hurt". My first week was pretty miserable but I walked and kept increasing my walking. By the second week I felt a lot better and completely better by the third.

Trust me...first month is rough with the pain, fatigue, sleepiness and only drinking liquids. With that, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Everyday really TRULY is better than the last.
