Im 8 days post-op and I find myself bummy... Not really wanting to be around to many friends...is this normal, does it go away?!

Your hormones may be out of whack for a little while...just go with the flow, get lots of rest and focus on yourself and recovering. It's normal, and it'll pass.

Thanks I'm trying lol. That's probably the biggest problem is I haven't been able to sleep so that's probably making me cranky!

Sleeping was hard for me, too! And I had no energy. The good times are coming, I promise.

Sleep is so important to recovery and lack of it can really have a negative impact on mood as well. I was having a hard time sleeping starting immediately after surgery. I just couldn't get comfortable. My mom suggested a body pillow and went out to Bed Bath & Beyond and got me one for less than $20. It changed everything. I sleep better than I ever did and think it is having a really positive impact on my recovery. My husband named the body pillow Steve. The three of us are very happy together.

Lol!!!!! That's hilarious, I'm going to have to try that!! Thank you!!

I kept to myself for the first 4 weeks after surgery. I just wanted to be by myself and recover. I also wanted to reach mushies so I could eat at places they went.

Good to know I'm not crazy lol. I'm still only 11 days out so still got some recovering time. I get moochies Thursday!
