3 days post op

Oh my God the pain is bad at times, feel like I am over some kind of hump today. Not fun to have to choose between food and water. I think my swelling is starting to go down.

My wonderful hubby has been doing an excellent job with our little 15 month old. And I have been sleeping more than my 15 month old.

So strange to get so full over so little food or liquid.

Two new goals for the next week or two:

1) be able to sleep in bed again - I am currently on the couch as upright as I can get - seems to help with the pain.

2) have enough extra energy to walk on the treadmill - right now it takes a lot of energy to just pace around my living room and kitchen.

it will get better. I felt totally back to par at day 9. Most feel it sooner.

Take it easy and recoup. Get your liquids in.

Good luck to you.

I WAS BANDED ON November 30, 2007. I am really sore, but seem to be doing well. I am having a hard time keeping up with my intake and hope I am getting enough fluids. I know it will get better.
