Dear Bookworm88,
It is so normal. You'll be feeling it throughout your first month or two. Stay focused on why you did it. My surgery was only 3 months ago, but I feel so good! I have energy, I walk with my dog everyday about 2 miles... I am planning on a snorkeling trip with my husband soon. I'm going to go to a family reunion soon and I can't wait to show off the new me! The new more active me. The more confident, healthier me!
Take your pain pills if it still hurts. Soon, you'll be able to eat regular food. The 2 week post op was the hardest for me, coz I was just ready to just eat already... But, you got this my friend, I promise.
Sip. Sip. Sip.
Walk. Walk. Walk.
Take your time, one day at a time.
You sooo got this!
ps.....Buckle up, it's gonna be a wild, bumpy and UBER fun ride!
