Post surgury
Sep 03, 2009
I had RNY surgury on Tuesday 9/1. Today is Friday morning.
Surgury day was not too bad. I woke up in pain but once I learned how to give myself pain meds and ask for it I got my pain under control. I did manage to do 2 laps late evening.
Wed I felt better on lots of pain meds. I got my 20 laps in throughout the day. By early evening I realized I had probably over done it and slept well all night. All that sleeping I didnt get any pain meds so I woke up Thursday feeling pain. They took out my catheter which meant I had to get up and go to the bathroom.
Thursday I felt worse than ever. My mom who has had / observed surgury recovery said the third day is often bad. Pain still remains but is more manageable.
Firday AM. I really do not feel like doing anything. Need to force my self to get some protien and take my vitamins. Slept OK last night but feel pretty tired.
