Had my surgery yesterday morning. These waves of pain and nausea are yucky. Plus I occasionally have these episodes of bubbles or spasms on my right side. Hoping it gets better soon!!

It will get WAY better.

I'm at day ten now and it improves so quickly. I'm going on a bike ride later and I did a four mile hike yesterday.

You got this, stay focused on the goals and sleep as much as you can for a couple days. There are so many unexpected wonderful moments right around the corner, you just need to get there.

Good luck.

I feel Ya. Day 3 seems to be worse than Day 2. Very ready to feel better ????

I was given great advise from another member. Treat recovery like a job. It keeps you focused and pushing ahead towards the easier days. This is serious work walking, drinking and eating sufficiently. Know what you have to accomplish every hour and push through.

Better days are sooooo close.

I am 16 days out and I concur with everyone else--it gets MUCH better, fast! Are you still in the hospital? If you are, let them know that your pain and nausea aren't being handled by the drugs so they can up them or change them. That's their job--don't be afraid to rate your pain as an 8, 9, or 10!

I felt better when I came home, then better at 5 days out, then incrementally better each day. Soon you will hardly remember how much it sucked, I promise!
