Welcome to the  Loser's bench Travis.  Give this recovery time.  Things will improve.  Take some deep breaths, sip, sip sip and get up every once in a while for short walks.  Take your pain meds as needed, careful, the narcotics can cause constipation.

They pumped you full of IV fluids for surgery.  I sequestered the fluids and thought I was never going to pee during the immediate days after surgery.  I came home from the hospital 10# heavier than when I arrived for surgery.  It took several days before the fluid shift started and I was losing weight.

Oh Travis..I hope you get to feeling better... I know what you mean. We had the same day surgery. My back is killing me. They say a lot of it is from the gas they use to do the surgery with. I have found the best thing for the pain besides meds is walking. I hope you feel better...I will say a prayer for you... happy thoughts and just remember it will be so worth it and we have a new lease on life now..... healthier bodies and we get to wear skinny people clothes oneday
