One week out and only feeling ok???
Tomorrow will be one week post-op. Not feeling fantastic--just ok. Not in much pain--only when getting up and down. Hurts mostly at one site--the one that is mega bruised--the one by all my pre-op surgeries--by my belly button--maybe because of scar tissue. My right lung and ribs hurt when I take a deep breath. The first time I got up to go to the bathroom in the hospital--I pulled myself up and heard something pop on the right side--I actually screamed--which is so unlike me. So maybe I popped a rib out or something--or pulled something. I am trying to get my fluids in. Doing better on my meals. Is it that you can't eat more than a 1/4 a cup of yogurt or you shouldn't? When can you start drinking more than sips--I have read that some people chug water about 15 mins. before the eat. I can add scrambled eggs and tuna tomorrow. Any other ideas?
Frustrated--but trying not to whine.

Give it some time... the first week or even two can be really rough!
