Harder Than I Thought

Hi everyone!

My surgery was Thursday, 10/18, and I'm really struggling. I guess I just want to see if this is normal, and if it is, I can deal with it. I've just never felt this bad before. The gas is bad, yes, but my biggest complaint right now is that my entire body hurts. I'm very weak and having lots of trouble moving around. It's like I worked out really hard and now I'm sore. But like I said, it's my whole body.

Is this normal?

Thanks!

Molly

    Yup! That's how I felt. I thought I was never going to come out of it, but by day 6 I turned a corner and felt so much better. Rest, walk, sip your fluids, take your meds, and repeat.

  • You just had your body wiggled, snipped and jiggled all over. I took the pain meds from doc for the 1st week and tried to sleep a lot. Getting up hourly and walking for 5 mins along with gasx strips

  • I felt like I had the flu. Like above, I too took my pain meds for the first week, slept a lot and rested. I did try and walk some (around the house to try and work out the gas) this will help some.

I had mine on 10/18 also, same doc as marketing dude (even rode to the airport with him, that's where I met him). I have some pain and gas and shoulder pain but walking helps tremendously. Just walk slow around your home every bit helps. Everybody is different and you will be great in no time!

Nice meeting you and wife Russell. This is going to be an interesting ride now that we are bandsters ! Lets definately stay in touch to encourage one another.

Warmest regards,

Chris
