So I'm 4 days post op. Came home yesterday. Just the drive from the hospital had me wrecked. Didn't sleep great last night, think my bed is too flat and my back is a bit sore from lying on it but apart from that I'm flying. Rang my doctor today cause experiencing some numbness and pins and needles in one leg. He thinks I might have bruised a nerve with the compression stockings and should be fine in a few days. I do find as well that I can't walk for more than a few mins without getting a bit dizzy and needing to sit. But if that's the worst I'm laughing. Fingers crossed!! Only thing I'm worried about is going stir crazy sitting round for two weeks doing nothing. First world problems!

I got stir crazy at the end too. I remember the first time going shopping for foods that I could have at the pureed stage. Completely kicked my ass being out and about with my wife but man it was good to get out and do something.

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Glad to hear for the most part you are feeling good. As I go for surgery on March 5th and my biggest worry is going stir crazy. And I wanna get back to my normal life ASAP. Good luck to a speedy recovery and to your new journey.

I think doing exactly as the doctors and dieticians tell you is the key to a speedy recovery

I agree, I have some Debbie downers that’s been on internet and like I said if I do what the Dr said I will be just fine.

Well, fingers crossed for you! I am nearly 5 weeks post op - the first three days were definitely the hardest so hopefully you are set, ready to watch those pounds slide off, your knees being less sore, nicer clothes fitting, and being complimented on how healthy you are looking!

All the best for a fab 2018
