 Ok so I'm only 2 days out, but my pain level is pretty high and I feel pretty bad.  Around what day did you all feel better??

It really does.  Every day is better.  I had my surgery 2 months ago and feel amazing.  Hubby had his 2 weeks ago and thought it was horrible.  Even he feels fantastic now.  You just had major abdominal surgery.  It's normal to feel like crap.

Please hang in there. What you are experiencing right now is totally temporary. It does get better. I am 8 months post op. You will start to feel better again at your 3rd week, however, each day it will get better. I promise! And then you will start to enjoy the ride. Take your pain medicine and follow your dr's orders. Don't push yourself. Congratulations!

I was a week post op before I felt human again.   I'm a month post op now and I'm back to normal.  Actually I feel better than I did before surgery!
Hang in there sweetie!   It DOES get better!

 Day 4 is when life got tollerable for me and day 9 is when I finally got in all my water and protein.  From then on it's been pretty easy.  I'm still not 100% as I get super tired and am asleep by 8pm but when I'm awake I feel fine.

Every day gets a little better.  I hit my low on day 3 and really started to turn the corner on day 5.  Just keep sipping and focus on staying hydrated!  Protein will come later when you can get enough fluids to stay afloat.

Sip, walk, rest, repeat.

Just hang in there... day 5 was when I started feeling human again.  You can do it!  Rest as much as you can.
