Hey guys I had my surgery Monday and I just wanted to check in...i'm doing a lot better.Monday was literally hell on earth but each day so far has been getting a lil easier. Today my mom and I went and did two laps around the mall and went to Walmart to pick up some Soup. I was doing fine till the end of Walmart when I was ready for a much needed nap. I feel like most of the gas is getting out but i'm still having upper back pain.I have a heating pad for that though. Just sipping walking and trying to relax. Luckily I was approved for leave from work till the 30 so that should give me plenty of time to recoup. Although i'm uncomfortable, as i'm feeling better day by day i'm super psyched to be on the losers bench...

Well every one recovers on their own pace what's most important is that you're feeling better now! Each day gets a bit easier! We're in this together!!

Congrats to u both on your surgery. Yes, each day gets a little better than the last. I know I didn't see real improvement until at least 2 weeks out, but not real good until 5-6. Keep walking, resting, and sipping and u will do great! Welcome to the losers side!

Meggiepoo, I've been feeling the same exact way... I didn't think about the heating pad, but I will get one when I go back out. I still have my JD drain in which is driving me crazy! Can't wait until its removed on Monday.

I'm sleep comfortable when sleeping on my side with pillows.

The drain is normal. Some doctors use it and others don't. Its just another way to make sure I don't have any leakage.

      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.
