I am 10 days out and I have good times and bad ones.  Take the Gas-X that really helps, make sure you keep hydrated and get up and walk.  It will get better, just give yourself a break, YOU JUST HAD SURGERY!  Rest, drink, walk.  It is boring, but it gets you well faster.

Shannon,

I was waiting to hear how you are feeling! I am sorry you got dehydrated and had to go back to the hospital. I'm feeling pretty good. I was in until 9/27 and that helped a lot - they made sure I was drinking enough and walking enough before they discharged me. Yesterday I was more exhausted than I had been previously - but I also wasn't resting enough. My two year old is mad at me that I can't hold her and pick her up - she actually yelled at me yesterday LOL.

I'm glad you are home and I hope you feel better every day!

 Hi, Shannon - I had my surgery 9/22 and I can assure you, you will feel a little better each day.  Be sure to follow your doc's orders, move around, and get your protein in.  It's been a week, I'm still a little sore. Hang in there!

I also had my surgery on 9/22 and i feel ok for the most, but this darn drainage tube is the only thing that has me tied down.  My energy is up, I feel no real pain.
I really hope you feel better soon.

my two two year olds are so cute they will come and ppick up my pants for me (when I am on the potty  ) because it hurts to streach and they are being very carefull of "mama's wowwie tummy"

Thanks for all the advice / encouragement
