8 days post op and finally feeling better

By ebtkm5

· 354 views

Well, I am finally feeling better today. I'm still a little hungry but it feels different. It doesnt hurt. It's a 'normal' hunger pain. Also, I have more energy, however, I take a medication for my sleep apnea called Nuvigil and this is the first day I have taken it since my surgery. It promotes 'wakefullness'. YEAH, it feels so great to feel better today. :biggrin:

 

thanks for all the advice everyone!!! I cant wait to be skinny and healthy again. I keep telling my daughters who are 14 and 25 that I'm going to be borrowing their clothes soon. :w00t::) They both weigh around 130.

    Wow that's great. That's interesting I to have sleep apnea and my MD wants to try me on a med that produces wakefulness also. I hope when he prescribes it, it will work for me. Can't stand being tired all the time. Going for my surgery tomorrow feeling a little nervous but excited as well.
