Well Im 3 days post op and I think all the good meds must have all worn off because I feel very low and sorry for myself today.

I am usually a very cheerful person but Im bored feeling sore and being scared to do anything in case I dislodge the band or knock my stitches. I turned over in bed and my stitches have bled again.

 

I cant drink enough without getting a tight pain accross my chest and I want a shower!

 

Boo Hoo I sound pathetic.

 

I am not going to write anymore until I can say something good. Dont want to bring eveyone down.

 

Bye for now, Im off for a wallow.

day two for me....pain meds almost gone...haven't slept well, haven't yet showered and I too am afraid to do much. Just trying to turn in bed is painful enough to make me nervous about 'undoing' something inside. I had a head cold going into surgery, so I'm still fighting that trying to cough hard though it hurts in attempt to keep my lungs clear. I am really looking forward to having this all at least two weeks behind me, I really loath feeling so incapable and 'hospitalily' :wub:

Simplysimple its not just me then? What a relief. I have managed two smooth yogurts and some clear soup today and that has perked me up. Now feeling guilty for eating that!!!!!! How screwy is that?

I had my surgery a week ago today. Maybe because both of my kids were born c-section that this wan't a big deal for me. I went to work Tues. It was slow going & I was extra spacy. Wed. morning felt so exhausted, but had 1 cup of coffee ( forget the decaf) with 1/2 cup skim milk. I perked up enough to go to work. Today I felt about 90% normal. Each day gets better. I teach 2nd grade & worked 9 hrs yesterday, 10 today. Right now I'm not tired or hungry!!! You can do it.

I think I'm just really uncomfortable with having to move slow and deliberate and the added discomfort of the bloat, gas and pressure on my diaphragm causing pain in my shoulders. I know this will pass (pardon the pun) and by next week I should be doing very well. Anxious!! :wub: I am too getting burned out fast on the protein shakes and yogurt....I think I'm a bit hungry! :)

wow Susan you are doing so well. Remember the inside needs to heal too though. Take care. Simply I felt just the same but I feel so much better today. Susan is right everyday does get better. I am pretty good at getting rid of the gas but it seems worse just before bed time. When do you both have your first fills?
