Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Welcome home Old Hippie Gal.

My doc sent me home with a liquid prescription on hydrocodone that was great for those first few days. If the pills are too difficult I would ask for a liquid script. Good Luck. I was super sleepy at first' date=' too. I have more energy everyday. Hope you are good. Take it slow and listen to your body. Naps are your friend![/quote']

Yes agreed. You should get more energy each day. First week was really a weak one, due to recovery. After that I think energy level increased each day. Just keep walking and drinking, or sipping.

My surgery was 12/28/12 I'm feeling ok' date=' no real desire to eat. Bored out of my mind![/quote']

I was bored out of my mind too after my second week after surgery, I went in for 5 hours for 3 of the days. They knew I couldn't do much so I just helped other out, office type job.

Very bored today too, lol. Going into work tomorrow though :-) It beats my boredom.

Would love to be able to walk outside, but it is so cold this week....treadmill it I guess.

I'm 3 weeks post op tomorrow and still not really walking. I've just been so dehydrated and weak feeling... I get dizzy everytime I stand up. My surgeon will be pissed at my post op appointment on Thursday, but oh well. I'm just trying my best to hydrate and take it easy. When I'm feeling better, I'll get to walking.

I am home' date=' sore but that will past. Not sure how I am suppose to take the pain pills and my regular pills that I have. I just can't stay awake so sleepy. Got my bottle of Protein Drink and Water to sip sip sip and walk. And go pee. Gosh do I pee[/quote']

I bought a pill crusher and I put the crushed up meds in a spoonful of sugar free pudding. I suppose you could put it in a little sip of Protein Shakes. It's bitter and gross but I'm 15 days out and I'm still crushing my meds. I now add it to a teaspoon of Sugar Free Chocolate syrup. Can't taste it at all. Good luck!

oh I know how you feel. we have the same surgery date. I'm bored outta my mind. and it's soo cold to go out for a walk. I'm just hoping someone that actually considers themselves a friend will come around and take me to a couple stores since my sons bday is the 5th. but everyone that has said to call them for anything doesn't pick up the phone. not even to say I'm sorry I can't help u today.. and on top of it... I don't have an appetite at all and haven't noticed a diff in size at all. I fall asleep so early and wake up at 5am. ugh
