6 days post op and still not in the groove of things

I'm still in pain I have 6 incisions. I'm walking and trying to drink as much protein shakes as I can bear. At this point I'm sick of them! Any tips? Any suggestions? I still haven't learned what hunger feels like I just where I feel depleted almost and need a recharge. I go to college and today after sitting through 1 class (1hr 30min)it was hard to sit through the 2nd without feeling discomfort in my abdominal area. I think I still have gas. So if any one has some tips, suggestions, words of encouragement, or comments please leave them. I don't know anyone who has had this procedure and feel alone during this process. Thank you.

@ you're doing very well. 6 days post op I was just lying in a ball on my bed and struggling to get up and moving. It takes time and everyone heals differently but you're doing well.

Once you're on week 2 and 3 of your diet it gets a little easier. As I'm 2 weeks post op I'm starting to feel less fatigued. I'm supposed to go back to work on Monday and since I'm a nurse I'm worried it might be a little too much for me. Either way I have to brave it out. You can do it! You've done great so far!! Keep drinking and keep up that protein.

@@Serenity924 thank you. Its a challenge to figure out eating at school especially with the heat the protein drinks get warm and eew. Hope hope to work transition for you is easy. I'm up and out today because I know I need to walk so a few errands and back home to rest is my plan for the day
