Everyone responds to pain differently. Are you up and walking around? It really does help. It might be painful at first but walk a little bit at a time. Hope you feel better soon.

I had surgery on monday morning and now my pain is pretty much gone. The belly button area on me is sore especially when i cough but they repaired my hernia there. Other than that i do have to sleep only on my back on the side still hurts. My problem is after my little walks im exhausted to the point where i feel i need to sit and relax. Is this normal? I know i need to start doing things but its like i have no stamina.way worse now than even before surgery. Im chalking it up as im still healing. Anyone else have that issue?

It's weird I've had 2 c sections and gallbladder removed and never had pain like this! And yes walking lil bits at a time hurts. I also just had an hr long ride from the hospital that was bumpy that prolly had something to do with it too. This one just does not feel like its getting better like the others but everyone is saying give it a week. So we will see.

I had horrible pain too for at least two weeks hang in there it gets better I would just sit there in tears praying for God to help me as I hit the lortab bottle like it was Jack Daniels. As far as stamina your body is using a lot of energy to heal on very little calories I'm nearly 4 weeks out and I still get exhausted. Bet you can't wait for the insomnia to start! Cuz I can't sleep for shit!

Yeah sleeping is hard for me too. I have to take ambien. This was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. It gets significantly better after the 2nd week. I also use a heating pad a lot.

Your energy level will go up and down for a few weeks. It will get better.

I Am just over 2 weeks post op and at times still feel like I Am not motivated or have enough energy to exercise. I know that surgery is only a tool and that I also need to do my Part... I do walk everyday tho:)
