emiko_oz got a reaction from pajara2 in Things I didn't expect my first month post-op
I had surgery Friday 9/11. I went home same day. Minimal pain, no nausea. Drove to grocery store after I got home. I think it depends on how active you are prior to surgery. Walk as much as you can. I'm 2 days post op & feel great !!
** Sip sip is tough - that didn't sink in when I was told.
** Tying my shoes for a walk - not great.
** I love Popsicles now - sugar free tropical flavors.
** how amazing it feels to get moving, I walked 9k steps today - and feel really good. No longer taking pain meds. Stay active before and walk as much as your body allows after - you will feel great

emiko_oz got a reaction from bhopeful in Back to work
I did well. I'm an Ops Mgr at a large trucking company. I have 74 people that report directly to me. We are in a busy time of year. I didn't have pain / I was sore. I think the secret is staying active. I am also a single mom w 2 little guys and I don't have back up. I kept my Protein intake up, took walks during the day ( 12k steps a day ) and stayed positive. I'm doing really well. I had my one week appt Thursday and am down 11 lbs. my vitals are all good. I didn't have any medical issues prior to surgery - I was simply overweight and couldn't lose on my own. This was a good decision for me.

I chose my schedule. My doctor agreed if that's what I wanted. I have been fine - which I knew I would be. A little tired after work but I haven't missed a day. I walk 12k steps a day. I've lost 14lbs. I have 2 small boys to take care of also - sink or swim and I'm swimming and doing great !!! It's different for everyone I suppose !!!

emiko_oz got a reaction from anna9/15 in Just had surgery 9/4
I went home same day. ( was the plan from the beginning ) I've been feeling really good. Haven't felt hungry and have been walking regularly. Yesterday I thought something was wrong because I haven't felt what others have
How are you doing ?

I had breast cancer 4 years ago. You are tough to get back to work thru chemo and radiation. 5 days will be more than enough for you !!! Good luck !!!
