LLB surgery Monday 6/18

I was feelin a little rough Monday evening - but yesterday was pretty darned good and today is great. I went to work today (w/o pain meds) - but thank god for the gas X strips. The gas is what gets to me....in my left shoulder. I guess that is where the nerves are that are affected by all that air they put in you when they do surgery. I really don't hurt that much from the incisions. In fact, I've had sorer muscles from exercise than these seem to hurt. Today is my first day of liquids....so I have a protein drink. It took me 1 hr to get it down. Feelin pretty darned good - though. I did a lot of walking and pushing my grandson on the swing yesterday....so i think staying up and out and about definitely helped me. Carlotta in Washington state

I CANNOT believe you went to work today! I had surgery on Monday too and am still sleeping on and off. Hope you continue healing and losing! Go, girl!

I am with you, had my surgery Monday also. Feeling good never even got gas pains I was lucky.
