When was the turning point for people post op?

I'm on day 3 since surgery. Wounds sore. I'm having trouble getting out of chairs, the couch, bed, even using toilet paper after going to the bathroom. Was this normal for you too?

Day 4 for me.

I'm on day 3 also, but things were a tiny bit easier today. I managed to get dressed and everything today, and I can almost get up on my own without much help. I'm still taking my pain medicine though, because if I miss it even for an hour, it hurts.

It was around day five for me. Hang in there, it gets better!

Yup. It was normal for me to feel that way. It took me 5 full days to feel even slightly normal. For me, days 1 -5 didn't seem to get better a little at a time like everyone else. They were just all horrible and some parts were worse than the previous day. But, after day 5, things slowly got better little by little. Hang in there. It super sucks right now, but you can do it!

Hope every one is doing well and a nice relaxed weekend ahead! Great to heal up really well and take best possible care......

Day 5 for me too. I'm 8 days out and only bothersome thing is port incision and bruising around that area. Just double up your pain meds and enjoy the ride:) Oh and sip sip sip

Day 7 for me. I am 17 days post op and just now feeling 100%...it gets better!

I was doing way better on day 5 and then I was stupid and pulled a muscle near my port. Feeling a little sore still on day 7 but thinking tomorrow I should be pretty much back to normal (barring any more dumb ideas)

Day 7 was back at work and felt ok...

Today is day 15 and feel like nothing ever happened!

Hang in there!
