I had laparoscopic sterilisation on Monday and according to their leaflet should have been fit for work 48 hours later!

er nope!

I am not unwell, no fever, worsening bleeding/clots or severe pain...I just don't feel...myself???right???

I am tired, cold, get breathless when doing...well anything from carrying dd to bed, to hoovering.
I am still having trapped wind pains, (mostly in the late afternoon/evening) and cramps, (mainly when I am moving about). Today (4th day after surgery) was my first trip outside the house .. to get bread and milk... and I am sitting down with my hot water bottle feeling bloated, uncomfortable and crampy again.

I told work I will not be fit for my shift on Sunday so am off till next weekend but feel like a twat.

Am I being overly precious?
Should I stop whining and get on with it... I go to work and get things done with period cramps.

No. if you're feeling off it, then rest.

Did you have GA? - that can affect you for a good week or so afterwards. Going back to things before you are ready is never a good idea IMO.

I had GA and the post GA spewing Grin just didn't expect to still feel .. crappy

Bloody hell no, YANBU. I had laprascopic surgery to remove my ovaries - it was goddamned painful for a couple of weeks, I can tell you, and despite me coming home the same day that I had surgery and thus not having a huge dose of GA, I still felt knackered days later.

Put your feet up and rest for as long as you need to. I hope you have plenty of help and support at home and that you are back to your old self very soon.

YADNBU. You are not whining. Have a rest as much as you can.
