You are not alone! I received 1 shot of morphine post-op...for shoulder pain from the surgery. I bounced back very quickly! I slept when tired and moved with the energy. 8 months later I still feel fabulous!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Man that's good that you feel well. Don't push yourself too much tho'. When I was a few days out I felt the same way and wound up pushing myself until my body reminded me that I had just had major surgery. Just listen to you'd body man, and you will be fine.

I'm post op a week now. Had surgery on 12/15/12. I haven't been on the pain meds since coming home. I do feel good and a little week at times. Lost 13lbs in this last week since surgery and am sipping away, getting my Water in and now able to get all the Protein in. I have pain by the incision by my belly button, however that is it. I've noticed since I'm getting more protein the weight loss has went up to about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs a day (for now).

Oh great! I appreciate the info guys! Good to have a virtual support system aswell! I

I agree listen to your body and don't overdue it. I'm 2 weeks out and my reminder comes when I wake up cuz I've been sleeping all over the place lol not a good start to the day! Take your time and enjoy the rest while you have it. Oh! And welcome to the losers bench!!

Yes it is so easy to reinjure yourself. Welcome to the "down" side. :-)

You guys are the best, its been a long time coming for me with this procedure, when i find the time im going to have to share my story with you all its a interesting one! :-)

Can't wait to hear it. Glad you are doing so well.

Looking forward to you story. And like others have said don't over do. glad you feel so good, but don't be shocked if there is a day here and there that you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you, that happens. but then every day will be better and better.
