Aww, feel better! The whole poo issue really bites after this surgery doesn't it?!

no, you are not superwoman. thats what i had to learn too. i went back to work 6 days after surgery and what a mistake that was! i own my own business so taking 4 weeks off really wasnt an option. i also had back surgery last december and i think i thought i was invincible and could handle 2 surgeries...wrong! i am having a really hard time recovering. very very tired about all the time. i have my surgery sept 6th with bladder repair and rectocele repair. peeing was murder and having a bm was like giving birth...and i signed up for this crap? thankfully, like you, i am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. no more pain at all, bathroom time is about normal now. still crampy and so tired. keep your chin up sista!

All right.... we're back to poo talk!!!

WOW..I had my surgery the same day as you did..my doctor still won't let me lift anything over ten pounds and I still can't sweep or vacuum yet..still have to take it easy even though I am feeling great!! If I am on my feet to much I get a little sore inside. I can't even go back to exercise til I see her and that's not until the 19th of this month.
Glad you are doing good but please don't push it.

So my biggest fantasy of all time has come true. I've dreamt of it for years and here it is......

I'm not hungry. Seriously not hungry. I mean, there are times when I just don't want to eat but for the last 3 days absolutely nothing. I don't want to eat and I am not hungry. I'm always hungry. It's like I have an obligation to eat because we have food. But even that is not working for me. I have half a package of cookie dough in the frig that needs to be cooked but I can't bring myself to do it. I don't want them. Was I abducted by aliens?

Then, as an added bonus, this afternoon I decide I will at least eat some yogurt because it's 2 and still no food and I take 3 bites and get this overwhelming urge to throw up. I wasn't nausous before then it was instant and powerful. I took some deep breaths and wished it away. It passed. Took a couple more bites and same thing. It passes, I eat again, same thing.

Does that ever happen at menopause? I still have ol' lefty the ovary but with the cold flashes I've been having I just had to wonder.

My surgery was the same day too. I'm not getting cleared until my appointment on the 20th. I hope.

It hasn't stopped me from being bad but that's just between you, me, and everyone on the internet.

My surgery was the 7th. I would like to go back to work tomorrow but i cant until doctor cleara me. Thankfully my appt is wednesday so maybe i can return at least by next monday.

Thank you...

I am trying to be good..If I over do I seem to spot. I am now to the point were I have seen some stitches come down so know I am healing. I will be patient for a few more weeks. Its hard when I really do feel good. After a very busy week end I am tired..and hope this to will go away in good time.
