I want to update to my age group especially since ...
I want to update to my age group especially since we seem to be healing a little slower. I was able to go back to work at 5 weeks.
I spent my lunch breaks laying on my patients stretcher because I get fatigued about every 4 hours. Everyday I felt stronger and had more energy than the day before. On my days off I walked 2 miles. At first it was at a turtles pace , but I got faster as time passed. Today at 7 wks PO, I was able to run a mile then power walk a mile with my German Shepard, (she was so happy to have me back. ), Clean my entire house and clean the filters on my fish ponds. ( I took a 15 min power nap in between all that. ) My energy is back about 80%. I'm able to walk 95% straight now which makes my back happy.
Like everyone else here, I'm flat first thing in the morning, then as the day goes on I get more swollen. By 8:00 at night my breast and tummy is so swollen and hypersensitive that it is hard to tolerate my clothes touching my skin. If I have a high sodium day it's worse , so I try to stay away from salty foods. Every now and then I get a stabbing pain through my breast or abdomen, it normally will last about 5 seconds. Very painful. I've noticed if I over eat in the evening the swelling, tightness and hypersensitivity is worst. In spite of all I have gone though on this wild journey, I love the way I look and feel. I feel young and beautiful! I would not hesitate to do it again. I have no regrets:-) Merry Christmas everyone. I will be praying for our new sisters.
Merry Christmas to all my realself pre and post op sisters. I am praying for your quick recovery,

Hi everyone. I am feeling better. That cleaning...
Hi everyone. I am feeling better. That cleaning the carpet mistake set me back at least a week. My abdomen from my breast bone to my incision line has a raw feeling. It is hard to explain but it feels like a bad sun burn. It hurts for my clothes to touch the skin. Is anyone experiencing this. I ask my PS but he just looked at me with a stumped look on his face and said " maybe you are more sensitive than other women. It would help to know someone is going through this. Not that I wish this on anyone, but if someone is please let me know. I thought it was because I'm over 50. I've been searching this site and haven't found anyone with this symptoms. Help.
Hello ladies, I want to post today to let you know...
Hello ladies, I want to post today to let you know how important it is to not over do it after a TT. This is day 18 PO.
I've been gradually adding to my cardio, i was eating vegetarian, my swelling was down, I was feeling fantastic. Wanted my house all pretty for thanksgiving so I could not resist shampooing my carpets. Which of course involved moving furniture. Well I woke up thanksgiving morning in swell hell and hurting all over. Ive been miserable every since. When I'm over this I will go back to my low impact cardio, lite housework, with plenty of rest. I have learned my lesson. I knew after about 30 minutes that I was way over doing things, but I just kept going. Learn from my stupidity sisters, listen to your bodies. Happy healing.
