Over did it

[Meintraining 104]

I Sometimes marvel at my own stupidity. I am 5 days post op. I took my daughter to basketball practice tonight. Because of the Super Bowl only 3 girls showed up. I looked at my other daughter who came with me and said let's go shoot some hoops we almost have the whole gym to ourselves. Whoooo and off I go. Running around, jumping, shooting. Next thing you know I fall backwards on the gym floor. That's when it hit me. What the heck was I doing? I fell backwards so hard. I'm home now and scared to death about what I may have done to myself. I'm seriously hurting. It's almost like I had a moment of totally forgetting I even had surgery. Sorry I just had to vent somewhere.

If the pain doesn't improve considerably in the next day or so you may want to call your surgeon. Sooner if any additional symptoms develop. That said, I gotta tell you I love your spunk!

I am glad that I am not the only one that forgets that I just had major surgery. I had my RNY on Jan 21 and went back to work in 9 days and couldnt figure out why my body wont do what I want to.

Just take it easy !!!!

Thank you. It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one.

So I have a question. Should my side still hurt? Left side? Hurts to cough etc. I'm a week and 2 days post op. Just wondering how everyone else felt at this stage

Pretty common and likely nothing to worry about - especially if you had a drain which is usually on the left side. Keep in mind that internal healing takes considerably longer than external. But - it never hurts to call your surgeon if you're worried. That's what they're there for!
