2 days post op... needing leave of mind.



Recommended Posts

Hi I am celebrating 1 month today. Concentrate on just healing. It took me about 2 weeks to feel semi- normal and I tried to narrow my focus on getting enough Water. You have been through major surgery. This is a baby step process.

It took me about a month to get back to feeling normal. It just takes time and patience.

*pace of mind, that is... So how long does it take to feel somewhat normal again?

I'll let you know when I get to normal, but I have felt better and better every day since surgery. I had mine March 20, 2013. I am nearly out of pain for the first time in 6 years. So, I guess I am getting more and more normal every day. As I've had to slow down to eat, it's been helping to bring more calm into my life in other areas. My confidence is high, and yours will be there very, very, very soon!

I came out with Water tasting awful for the first time in my life, and everything tasted different than before surgery. I hate sugar and salt now, and foods are much stronger tasting than I remembered. I has been a baby step process. I live in the south, and the one thing that has continued to taste great for me is Chic-fil-a's diet lemonade. It was my savior right out of surgery for hydration. I buy it by the gallon about twice a week. Water is beginning to taste ok now, but it's taken a while.

Day 2 was the worst for me. Day 3 was good, day 4 was better and now on day 6, I feel great! I am exhausted by the end of the day, but I feel fantastic. You will get there, I promise. You really don't have a choice, right? Relax, pamper yourself, let people help you and heal.

Hang in there you'll have up and down days at first, but you'll get there. Try and steer your mind off of it, it's hard, but I had to force myself into other things to keep my sanity.

2 days after I got home, I had this OMG, OMG, panic, I cut my XXXX'ing stomach out, what have I done. After about 24 hours I was ok, but geez, even with all the months of prep, it was a mind blower. I was ok when I realized it wasn't going to kill me but make me better.

So everybody felt pain? You all had a hard time getting in and out of bed? Did anybody cough a lot? I just need to know the discomfort is normal. Pre op everybody seemed to be feeling so great the very next day.

You just had major surgery and your swollen, so yes we all have experienced what your going through. Don't concentrate on that, just concentrate on getting in your Protein and warter at about 6 weeks you won't even feel like you had surgery. Oh wait you will because you still won't be able to eat like you use too! :D

By the 4 or 5th day I felt about 95% back to normal. The first 2 - 3 days were the roughest for both my husband and I. Good luck, feel better soon!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
