recovery with overs? Started by: Leanne

hiya hun i am 6 days post op with 300/320 unders and just starting to be able to sleep 8 hours a night again and feel half normal. i can do my own hair although it hurts a bit under my arms, i managed to bathe on my own yesterday as well and shave my legs and underarms everything just takes a bit longer than usual. unfortunately i don’t have children so can’t comment on that one. i am sleeping with my head and upper back propped up on some big cushions and my V neck pillow, and the only issue i have sleeping is slight back pain so i am readjusting myself about 4/5 times a night but falling back to sleep straight away. i feel less useless now nearly a week on but still need help from my boyfriend, can’t do any housework or any bending or lifting still, i was told at least 2 weeks before any light lifting or non strenuous activites like washing up, cooking etc but everyone is different, don’t feel the need to push yourself! you’ll know when you’re ready everyone’s healing process is different, hope you start to feel better soon! 🙂 xx
