I am officially a week post op and things seem to be going well. I was a little worried there for a bit.
Day 1-3 were really hard for me. Exhaustion, couldnt eat anything without diarrrhea, terrible pains.
Day 4 I stopped all pain meds. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and decided I no longer needed them.
Day 5 started having energy to do laundry and other household tasks. Also had a lot more energy to play with my 1 year old almost all day. Able to tolerate small amounts of fat.
Day 7 (today) I am back to cooking, cleaning, working (wfh desk job), etc. Only thing I am still avoiding is lifting my 23lb baby. I am hoping to get cleared to do so at my 2 week post op appointment. I can eat more fat and it has been 48hrs without diarrhea.
Just thought I would post a more positive experience. I was really worried after scrolling this sub, but I am glad the first 3 days were the most challenging thus far.
