people tend to be doing pretty well and cleared for normal activity at around 4 weeks, but that is a general idea.

you may feel great sooner, or a little later.

I seem to recall from another thread that you are about 3 days out?

It is different for everybody, but you should turn a corner within the next couple of days. Then, it seems like it get a tiny bit better each day. You may hit a phase where you are exhausted, but for me that lasted less than a week.

Hitting your Protein and Water goals will help you heal faster. Hang in there!

I am day 2 post-op and if it wasn't for the largest incision I would feel fine. I am walking, getting in my fluids, taking my pain medication and sleeping. Yesterday was awful, today was better and hopefully tomorrow will be even better. I have to believe that or it would be depressing. I hope you are able to get to 100% so you can be all you want to be for your kids. Imagine how awesome life will be once we are feeling great again. Keep the faith, this too shall pass.

I think it depends on the person.

I have had a few problems for two months. I have heard from many they felt great right from the start and others say it takes a good 6 months to start feeling your new normal and being used to it. Each day is a new journey. Good luck to you.

Even with a minor post op complication, at ten days out today, I feel pretty good. I haven't required any pain meds since Wednesday. The sip sip sip is getting less annoying and becoming more enjoyable, as well as closer to reaching my daily goals. Like everyone says, we are all different, but the more positive you remain in your recovery, the better the outcome should be :). You got this!

@ rolosmom7 how soon did you go back to work and what did you experience ?

Went back day 13 to work half days. That was Tues and Wed. Thursday I worked from home and today I was able to hang until 2. I have a desk job, but in a very large building (a mile long). Walking to and from meetings when one ends at 10 and another starts at 10 was rough as it's a good hustle.

I have endometriosis as well, since the surgery it's been horrid. I came home and took some serious naps.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
