I have surgery in the morning. I get up about 3 which is usually when I fall asleep. I ALWAYS stay up until the last possible minute to have a drink and snack the night before surgery.
My depression makes this seem like a very small thing but deep down I know it’s not so small... I’m tired and as soon as I finish this post I’ll roll over and not get up again. This means I’ll be sleeping 4-5 hours earlier than usual(I’m actually tired) and I won’t have a snack! Surgery makes me hungry but dry mouth is so bad I can’t eat solids after usually. Therefor I’ve least eaten and drank enough at the last minute to get me through the next 24 hours. Tonight I don’t care. If I’m hungry I’ll send hubby for a smoothie tomorrow. I can have a protein shake. I’ll get a full calorie coke. Whatever I need tomorrow I will do. But tonight I don’t NEED that food and drink before I sleep. That being said I do plan to have one more drink of water lol. Feels good to know that I’ve won another small battle against food/my appetite ☺️. Happy hump day everyone!
Oh and please disregard anything I post in the next 24 hours. I tend to be even more social after surgery. I tend not to think about what I say or post lol. I try to remember to stay off of here and Facebook but sometimes I forget. Bring on the versed! I need to find something similar for when I get overwhelmed or anxious lol.

Wishing you the very best of luck for tomorrow... and totally get the full calorie Coke thing... I don't know what it is (considering there's no real coke in it anymore!!!), but it somehow make you feel better, no matter what's wrong (or not right).

@chris thanks :). Honestly I bet I’m on here in less than 12 hours. A few days after my mastectomy I was driving the kids to games, practices etc. I don’t seem to know how to relax. I’ll sleep more for sure. When I lay around I get on here more.

@keith thanks :). I will only be away a few hours I’m sure. I don’t follow restrictions well :/. And those chin ups will take awhile lol. He said this time I can start some things 7-10 days post surgery so I won’t be out for long.

I'm in the same boat as you peeper.
I have no idea how to relax 99% of the time. Relaxing is way to hard

Yep. Today I sat up and they were all ‘lay down, relax!’ Had to explain that I’m nosy and curious so I wanted to look around. Laying back was a 4-5 pain level, 7-8 sitting up but it’s worth it as I never remember that part. Finally they checked me out early because I wouldn’t lay down and rest lol. Said maybe I would rest more at home and the long drive home would force me to rest haha. They were also a bit worried cause I refused narcotics. Requested ibuprofen so they wrote my script for that. We will see how I do with so pain killers other than whatever the anesthesia did. They did give me something right before I woke up. Said it lasted 15 minutes only and that’s when I requested no more narcotics.

Haha Chris. I don’t know the meaning of relax. If I relax I snack. If I snack a lot I gain weight. I’m an all or nothing personality. It’s easier for me to do more then less ;). But I do plan to sleep early tonight, a nap each day for the next 3-4 days and call a friend, play games in my phone or be on here for a couple hours a day. That means I’ll at least be sitting down during those times lol.

I should also point out, while I can still remember, that the nurse said walk as much as I wanted at a slow pace. Open incisions for draining. The more I walk the more will drain and the faster the fluid will come off which is good. My binder is soaked on one side already and she said that should happen by dinner or bedtime if I walk enough. It was soaked at 1pm lol. Sitting now :).
