Well, day 9 post op, all kinds of things have happened these last few days, I have had major gas that smells gosh awful, rofl. I mean even I want to run from it and it seeps through tons of covers as well even when covered up and not moving. Dogs don't even want to be under the covers either which I don't blame them either.
I have over done it the last few days and my body has let me know just by letting me spot. Since I have rested a day and a half, I haven't spotted anymore which I am very very glad about. I am a member to a few hysterectomy boards that are pretty awesome. The women are awesome as well. Yesterday we had our early Christmas and I was afraid that I wasn't going to be up to helping out with setting the table or being able to set up for a long time to take pictures of everyone opening their presents and just enjoying the family and playing with my nieces and nephew.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and got some pretty good presents. I hope after my weight loss surgery I continue to feel better about myself and about being in the skin that I am in.
A few more tips on a hysterectomy, is listen to your body, no matter how well you feel, your body will let you know exactly how much you have overdone it or not. If you get nauseated, it is time to sit and rest, if you start spotting, time to rest, if you start cramping, time to rest, and I don't mean sit down a few mins and do what you were doing, I mean hours on top of hours. If you want to go shopping, get a motorized wheelchair, if someone says something to you, tell them you just had a hysterectomy, and you aren't going to be getting up and walking, per the doctors orders, and if they try to say anything else, you just go about your business and enjoy every single bit of the shopping that you have to do. If you are about to have surgery, make sure to ask questions and do research. I needed mine a lot, because I was so miserable and bed ridden when it was that time of the month. I would rather be up and playing with my kids than stuck in bed hurting to bad to move.
If you have any questions feel free to msg me or contact me. I would be more than willing to help you out. :)
