Is it normal to feel normal?

I'm 4 weeks post op. I feel no pain. I feel active. I went swimming and it felt great. I eat normal food (no carbs or hard food yet) and it feels great. I sometimes have a weird feeling that something is not right because i feel so normal. I feel nauseous now and then but still i feel normal. Sometimes i have strange gas noises coming from my stomach but it doesn't hurt or anything it just feels weird.

I am scared of a thing called (undetected leaks) since I went swimming and my child jumbed on my stomach.

I get the feeling that there is something wrong even though i feel ok. Anyone had this experience?

Well, I feel the same way I must say! Ever since my surgeon told me I could go back to biking and swimming, I have been feeling pretty good which is kinda weird after the first "meh" month where I was tired all the time.

I don't think there is anything wrong, if you don't feel pain or perpetual disconfort then it should mean everything is fine! Enjoy feeling good is all I can say :)

I think around 4 weeks is when I really started to feel like a normal human being again too. I think by then you are recovered from the surgery, at least on soft foods, getting a fair amount of calories in, and getting back into a routine. So I think that, yes, it is normal to feel "normal" again around that time.

feeling that something is not right because i feel so normal.?

That's great news. I'm five days out and the only pain I have is a little bit from the hernia that was repaired. Haven't been swimming yet LOL
