My surgery was last week as well. I just walked about a quarter to a third of a mile and I am pooped. In fact I'm laying down resting as I type this. I am struggling to get my liquids in. (My nut puts us on full liquids as soon as we get home). I think it's all normal. If you are staying on top of your pain, walking and resting every few hours and staying hydrated. You ARE doing everything you can- we have to give ourselves time to heal.

I had surgery 5 days ago & I'm so over this incision pain. I walk every hour just to be mobile and to get off my butt bone because it hurts like hell. I drink lots of water & crystal light and eat more jello than the law allow. I started drinking carnation essentials with skim milk and I love it. I'm looking forward to eating real food again.

Remember first few days are worst. By day 5 you will progressively start feeling better. You must get your liquids in! I thought I was hungry too but finding most of the time it is I'm my head or tooth acid in stomach. Hang in there. I am 6 weeks out and down almost 30lbs but not ravenous like I used to be. Still get hungry. Still have cravings. It will all be ok
