A couple of days in

So I had my bypass on Wednesday, everything went well; home on thursday. I've been very surprised at how much pain there was and how tired I am but every day I can feel it getting a bit less. I had mostly been worried about would I be able to get the required liquids in every day and that's been easier than I expected! I'm just trying to walk when I"m up, rest when I need to and manage the pain and liquids in between those two things. So far so good.

Off to a good start. I wasn't surprised necessarily with the post op pain-- but it was intense initially and downgraded quickly. Walking absolutely helps. Keep on top of the fluid intake- you've got this.

Congratulations!

I had my surgery on a Wednesday too. I remember I laid low over the weekend and then on Monday definitely made a turn for the better. By the next Wednesday I remember standing in my kitchen not believing I had surgery a week ago. I still was tired for a couple of weeks- afternoon slump.

It sounds like you're off to a great start!
