Blaaaaa is okay right now. Just try to rest and binge watch something you love!!! I was feeling pretty decent about day 7. Take it easy.

I'll second bellasmommy99.

We all have slightly different recovery experiences but there's a definite theme -- the first week is the worst. You've had major surgery, can't get many calories in, getting in/out of bed is a challenge -- oh and coughing is hell. This passes.

Try to make sure you get your fluids in -- that helps a lot as does walking several times a day. It doesn't have to be a lot. I walked down the hall of my apartment building -- and noticed that every day it was easier and I'd walk farther.

Get lots of rest and give yourself the break you've earned by starting this journey. You'll recover like the rest of us did. I'll bet by the end of the weekend you're feeling worlds better.

Hugs.

I had my surgery Tuesday the 28 th.. Terrible pain while I was in the hospital, mostly gas pain. I've been home since Thursday and moving very slow. I have been moving some gas, but still have pain inside and at the incisions. Everyday is getting better though.
