Yesterday was my surgery and it went really well, the surgeon was in and out in 45 minutes and there were no complications. My stomach is sore but I'm not really nauseous. I've been taking walks around the hospital and I just started my sips of water. Today I meet with my surgeon to discuss after care, my psychologist and my dietician, just for an overview. I can't wait to go home and lay with my kitty.

Sammi You are doing awesome. Just keep doing what you are doing, just don't overdo. your body has been through major surgery so rest when you need to., But walking the halls is so good. And sip sip sip. Wishing you the very very best and so glad you were able to let us know how you are doing,. Gentle hugs.

Awesome! Best Wishes

Sammi, Congrats! and I am glad to hear you are doing well. As Vicki said, take it slow and follow the process. You will have good days and bad days but overall each day gets better. Im about 7 weeks out and feel really good. Just don't push yourself! :-) Wishing you a speedy reocvery!

What should I do for exercising when I get home? I thought 30 min on my treadmill would be ok

NO NO NO at least i don't think so, just walk around inside the house every hour or so, increasing the time. Please don't jump on the treadmill right away. You have some healing to do. Ask your doc but I really think he will say the same thing. In a couple of weeks he may say you can start the treadmill. Then again I could be all wrong.

There is nothing wrong with short slow walks on your treadmill. When I got home from my surgery I did little 5-10 min walks on my treadmill every hour. I used on the slowest speed I could. Helped with gas.
