WHERE ARE MY AUGUST 2021 PEEPS?

[codevsg 8]

Shelly, so about a week on pain meds?

I was hoping just a few days, but that makes sense. I read somewhere it is 2-3 weeks for incisions to heal and 6-8 weeks for the staple line to heal.

I gave myself two weeks of recovery and plan to go back to work after that. I have a desk job and work from home so I am hoping it won’t be too tough.

I’m really on top of liquids, Proteins, and walks. I think that will help. Taking about 4oz and hour.

Feeling okay after morning pain meds.

My doctor told me that there is a decent chance I could go back to work in a week. Some people have actually gone to work in a couple days based on their pain level. I plan to take just the week and go back to work at my desk job.

Had surgery 8/24/21 I'm home in 8/25/21, pain is kind of bare able but gas pains are ridiculous! Not thinking about eating too much just happy I'm home because I have Gatorade zero and crystal light and all that good stuff. Still trying to get comfortable though

So how much are we supposed to drink the first week. Is it really just 4oz at a time? I got an example schedule and it has me drinking something every hour.

Just not sure how to get a 20-30 grams of Protein when I can only have 4oz at a time.

The brand of Protein Powder I bought from Amazon is made with only 4oz of Water with 27g Protein. The premiere tastes better IMO but I doubt I can drink 11oz

I did not need any pain Meds after 10 AM the day after my surgery. I haven't taken anything since then. They say pain levels diff each patient. On day 11 post op. I go back work Mon but only 4 days then off another wk. Listen to your body I am lil tired so rest when I need to. Pray u will have a speedy recovery.
