I'm still standing...

...barely...

 

I'm banded now but not up to much of anything. This is day two and I'm still hurting although MUCH better than the first 36 hrs.

 

I didn't realize it would be this rough and yes, I've had several surgeries in my life... I'm also 46 yrs old now and overweight so perhaps that made this worse than I thought.... Or probably it is that we just don't remember pain after it is all gone. This too shall pass...

 

Thanks.

    I was just getting ready to do my own blog, but thought I'd reply to yours first because my issue is similar. I was banded on Wednesday (four days ago), and my abdominal muscles are still killing me. I need help standing and sitting and am still on pain meds . . . a big no no for me!! Just wanted you to know you're not alone.

    :rolleyes:

    "This too shall pass..." My mom's favorite expression as I grew up and boy did I hang onto them my 1st week post-op. Im on my 2 week and got upgraded to mushies *happy dance*. The pain goes away day by day but for me day 3 kindda sucked a lot for me. Then again on day 2 I did 1 load of laundry and loaded my dishwasher twice....yea dont do that on day 2 lol. I think after the 1st week its all smoother roads. Glad you are doing good all and all and have your spirits high. Wishin you the best =)
