First post since surgery

Hi everyone. I had my surgery on Monday and came home Tuesday around 4 pm. I am doing ok but think I'm a little dehydrated - still feel a little lightheaded. (??????) I am very weak but am able to do more each day. I am concentrating on getting in fluids and protein shakes (which is no easy feat). I know I read about the difficulty in this but until you have to do it you don't really get the concept. I am doing small tasks around the house and walked around outside yesterday several times. I'm just still REALLY tired. I'm guessing this is normal? Anyway, I'm home and I'm so glad I have this board for support and prayers. Thanks again Denise

Denise I can't respond to anything after the surgery (i havent gotten that far YET) Just wanted to let you know congrats on your journey and glad u are home and doing well. G

Hi Denise, I am glad you are home and I hope things improve quickly. I am sorry I am of no help also because I am also pre-surgery. I just wanted to wish you well and hope you feel better soon. Pat

So glad you are home and without complications. I had surgery on 4th and had a few complications but I think complications or not, it is a difficult surgery and it DOES take a toll on our bodies. Exercise when you can, rest when needed and just spend time getting use to the new body. It is still hard, but every day gets easier. Diane
