1st post-op doctors visit

Yesterday I had my 1st post-op doctors visit. I have lost 28 pounds since my surgery on 01/17/17. I feel great. I had the RNY and 3 of my six scares are barely noticeable. I have been using shea butter on them and it is working great. I really don't see much physical change. However, I am noticing some emotional change. It is hard to explain. I am not depressed or anything. I just feel so much better. It seems as if nothing is really bothering me. Its kinda like a whatever attitude. Anyway I feel great and I go back to work tomorrow. My choice to go back to work. I am so bored at home.

Tricie, that is so awesome!! You are doing so well. wow 28lbs already, does that include what you gained while in the hospital? I am down 14 from when I came home. But only 2 lbs down from what I was before I went into the hospital. Total I have lost 24lbs total from when I started my journey. I am thrilled with my results so far. Just curious how you are counting your 28lbs. You go ahead and have that "whatever" attitude girlfriend you deserve it!!! (((hugs))) Anna

My pre-op 3-days before surgery I was 362 which is what my surgeon goes by, would make 28 pound loss. The day I left the hospital I weighed 358 which would make 23 pounds loss since I left the hospital The day I went in the hospital I was 348, which would make 13 pounds I will take either one

Wow, Tri****hat's awesome! I'm down 14 lbs since surgery, 19 lbs total....so you're way ahead of me! Congratulations!! Margaret

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!! 28 POUNDS GONE FOREVER!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

WOW! Good for you tricie! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! I keep thinking that all the important differences are not measured in pounds and sizes - and I believe your post backs me up. Keep up the great work! God bless! -

Tricie, Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! It is great to hear that you are doing wonderful. I do have a question for you, when did you start using the shea butter? I am concerned about my scars and right now they have the sticky protective coating on them so I am not sure what I need to do. Danielle
