Oh yeah, I've got a few tips. Let me tell you how the seven days have gone for you.

Day 1: You don't feel much of anything. You just got out of surgery, you're on drugs, you can't move. You're aware of everything but it's not easy to get out of bed. They have you on the morphine drip so you really don't realize the pain you're in, but you're aware of one thing -- and that is the gas pain. You don't even understand how bad that is. It sits on your chest and it feels like you can't breathe -- and honestly, it feels like you're going to get a heart attack any time. And honestly, it doesn't pass, but you do get used to it.

Day 2: For me, it was the worst I ever felt. My stomach was really sore and I was in pain. The stitches hurt a lot, but the problem wasn't that. It was the exhaustion and my intense depression and regrets. I went through so much regret on that day. Wasn't a good day. That night -- my blood pressure sky rocketed.

Day 3: This is the day I went home, but I didn't feel a 100%. I was relaxed, was able to get a bit of Water in. As much as I could, which was like two small cups. =/

Day 4: Goddamn! I felt amazing! My pain wasn't as excessive as it could be. I wasn't that sore. I did pretty much everything myself with little help. I drank two bottles of Water, one Protein shake. Also the first day I was able to sleep on my side, which was like heaven for me. Walked about an hour and a half on the treadmill in ten minute intervals throughout the day.

Day 5: Felt even better than the day before. This is the day I really started to marvel at the wonder of the human body and shit, it's so amazing how good I felt. I had two rounds of my Protein Shake (70g), 2 and a half bottles of water. Walked for a total of an hour and thirty minutes in ten minute intervals on the treadmill.

Day 6: This was the first day of no sore, no pain, no bullshit. I felt like I had the day before going into surgery. I went to the salon, got my hair done. Then I went to the spa --- got a mani/pedi, + facial + eyebrow waxing. I felt pampered all around. <3

Day 7: I weighed myself in the morning and almost cried. Best day ever.

Wow...I'm in day three and this is EXACTLY how I've been feeling, can't wait for day 4!

[webhopper 57]

For me; day 3 was good relaxed at the house and slept on and off. Day 4 was a relapse day because I coughed and when I coughed I felt a burning pain that hurt really bad. Today is day 5 and I'm doing amazing except for when the pain meds wear off. I actually walked a total of one hour today and did great. I am now wearing clothes that have been in the back of my closet for 3 years. And today I have been able to drink 64 oz of Fluid. Mostly Water mixed with low Cal Gatorade. And I sipped on lemonade the whole way through a 2.5 hour sports banquet for my daughter
