Four days out

Okay so my previous post was kind of melodramatic...i was in pain, what can I say? I am feeling much better. Still have some good pain on the right side, which is where my largest incision is. I have been walking a bunch and getting in at least 24 ounces of water the first few days. I am not dehydrated and pee like every hour. I have not yet had a BM. Though I am very bloated and gassy. I can feel the gas moving through me, it isn't uncomfortable but it sure does feel good when a bit comes out. I have to remind myself that I just had major surgery and to not do to much. I am off until Dec 27th. I think that should be enough time. I have not been hungry at all, which is a very nice thing. I also have not experienced head hunger yet but I am sure that will come once I am able to eat a little more. Starting tomorrow I can have pudding, yogurt and cream soups. I am kind of excited and nervous at the same time. I don't want to get sick eating anything so I have been really careful, even when I was having jello!

glad you are feeling better! I am on the same trajectory. I felt pretty craptastic on day 2, and day 3 a bit better, but today is for sure the best yet! Honestly, considering I just had surgery, I feel pretty good. I got a little cocky and cut off the pain meds today. Turns out that was a bit too early. So, it's back to the Vicadin for now... Keep up the great work! Hugs!!
