folks we just had major surgery. It only makes sense that we are still weak. ) I had my surgery on the 14th. I try to walk a little each day for 10 min. I overdid it yesterday and was worn completely out.
Had surgery on Monday. Released on Thursday. My hands have gone down some, but legs and feet still swollen. anyone else have this experience? How long did it last? I think it is due to all the IV liquids I had while in the hospital.
I haven't had my surgery yet, but when I had my laproscopic tubal many years ago and they used the gas to blow up my stomach, it hurt for a few days while the gas traveled through my body. I can remember it hurting especially bad in my shoulders.
I am also on day 3, but I don't have an all liquid diet until the 8th day. I have two protein shakes and 1 meal that is suppose to be under 300 calories. I usually drink a flavored water and have a sugar free popsicle. I've been eating baked chicken and broccoli for my meal. Yes, it is hard!! ) but, I am going to do my best to stick with it. I dread day 8! Hang in there. My surgery is Oct. 14th, when is yours?
I am scheduled for my surgery, Monday, Oct. 14th. I am excited, but also scared! ) am thinking of how wonderful it will be to finally have some energy again to actually do things!!!
