Feeling very excited, hope I can get some sleep...anyone else

I have to do what I have to do. I am a therapist, so it's not manual labor. I will be fine. I might be tired, so i will discuss not driving with my partner, but other than that I will be good.

Alright, you go girl. I do feel much better today, minimal pain, did a lot of walking today. Let's keep in touch with our progress.

I do have a question, do you still have pain at your incision area?

Mmmm... not really. I take my medication as scheduled. I don't wait for my pain to take the medicine. I was told what I can take for pain when I go back to work. I know it won't be easy, but I have already done the hard part. I gotta move. My medical team wants me to do something for at least an hour each day

So I will be moving and then some. I have talked with several sleevers that went back to work right away. I think that's how you really get sick, by staying home all day.

Ok what kind of meds because I am on codeine and have medicated patches

The same, but I was also told that I can take ibuprofen, up to 800. So I am transitioning to the ibuprofen only in the day time. I will take the hydrocod at bedtime. I honestly don't like all those drugs in my system.

I know, I backed off the codeine, don't like the way it makes me feel, but thank God for another day, I am getting there slowly, each day lesser pain, and today, the swelling is almost down????

Well that's good. Less pain is always best. I didn't really take much ibuprofen today, but I will give myself more tomorrow. Cause I will be moving and shaking. I am excited to be out though. I am encouraged to walk and do things, and not just sit around. So me going back to work says movement better than anything else.

Yes it does, it was just beautiful today in Texas, went for a couple of strolls and feed the ducks today, then pain set in, wasn't much, but I like you, just enjoyed being out????

Oh that's good. I have stayed in, cause I know I will be in movement tomorrow. Sounds like you have a really nice and relaxed day.

How did your first day go? Today I am going to my post op visit with my Dr., hoping I can start Protein and soft foods, we shall see.

Things are much better than yesterday. I was so constipated. Not to be graphic, but it felt like someone had their whole fist up my butt. I called the nurse and begged to drink some citrus magnesium. The nurse encouraged me to try milk of magnesium first. I tried, and the suffering continued the whole day. I girlllll when I drank half that bottle, life began in about 40 mins. Lol! Today I had some minor stomach pain in the morning, and I took some Ibuprofen. I was good all day. I think I am completely off the sizzuyrup. That stuff was just too much for me. Every time I poured my shot I would think about Little Wayne. Lol! How are you feeling?

I have also been able to eat pureed. I can only eat 2 to 3 ozs but at lease that's better than a shake all day. That's why I am all clogged up. Not the move. I don't have time to be sitting on the toilet like that all day.

Girl let me tell ya, I am beginning to feel the same way LOL, I had to ask what to take for constipation and they told me to use senokot. My Dr told me I had to much tissue damage so I am still on liquids, except I am on thick liquids, like Protein shakes and cream Soups. I can't start the semi solids until next week. I am with you, girl I couldn't take it anymore either so I was with you and Lil Wayne LOL....Today is a much better day, I feel little to no pain, and beginning to feel like me again, especially after losing 10lbs girl I couldn't believe it....I am loving it and it shows in my clothing, girl I had to pull out an old bra from when I was a few pounds lighter
