Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Today I did not need any pain meds. My surgery was 4 days ok. I feel pretty good.

I have not taken any today either. I woke up and just felt full and bloated. I have been trying to make myself drink and eat. Not that great so far. I am hoping this afternoon is better than this morning. I have walked twice already today. I think that helps with the bloating..

I'm completely exhausted today. I don't know if I overdid it over the weekend or not. All I wanna do is sleep. I have so much to do and I go back to work tomorrow. I don't need all this.

Well Im Five days post op and today will be my last day on pain meds .

Today i walked 1 soild mile at a brisk pace, feel great ! not winded, sore or anything.... cant wait for tomorrow going to try for 1-1/4 miles ....... this is the best decision i have made in years

Good for you!!! Wish I could say I was doing that!

Me too!! I am fighting for energy right now. I am not eating enough at all but I just feel full all the time. I have a call out to ny nut right now to see what I can do for more energy. I have been trying to go all day without pain medicine but I think I might break down shortly.

What are you guys eating? Nothing sounds good to me.

I'm totally wiped out today too. I don't know if I just did a little too much over the weekend or what. Concerned because I go back to work tomorrow.

I just feel so nauseated and weak. I ended up taking some pain medicine 15 minutes ago because I thought why fight it? My BP was a little high too and that can be a sign of pain.

I don't know how you are going to work tomorrow. How far out are you? I really haven't had the " why did I do this to myself" until today. Im miserable and hope this bloated feeling passes. I keep walking my house and doing walking in place. It is way too hot to walk outside (Florida).

Im just whiny and this isn't like me at all.

I'm 11 days out today.

I took some pain medication and it helped. I think I was trying to cut myself off too soon. I am in Florida so I am just walking my house too. Tv sucks and I can't concentrate to read. Maybe I will watch a movie soon.

Ok cool. Thanks. I was worried. :-)

You're welcome!! I worry about a lot too! This is all new!

My nurse said today(I'm 6 days post op) she doesn't understand why ppl fight the pain meds. That's why they give them to you... Struggling through the pain isn't going to heal you any faster . And it's going to take more than one bottle of pain meds to become addicted to them. Mine have been a blessing. I am down to taking one script and one Tylenol. All is going great! drain tube out Wednesday! Whoo hoo

So True Mandee! Resting free from pain is an important part of the healing process. WHen my Dr. Discharged me he said " now don't go home and think you have to lay on the couch all day but you don't have to be superwoman either" I think we are so excited about our new lives that we want to jump on it now now now!

Thanks for that. If the pain comes I will definitely take my pain meds and not try to be superwoman. Lol
