Almost one week post-op and going strong!
Friday will be one week after my surgery and here are the highs and the lows:
Highs:
- No more hunger - Never! I have to "program" myself to eat or I would starve.
- 20 lbs lighter and no more pains, not even from the surgery!
- No major cravings thus far. My wife who joined me for my surgery and will be undergoing the same procedure ate all manner of delicious food in front of me with zero effect!
Lows:
- Mild complication of passing blood, which kept me from coming home by a day. Seems to have cleared itself up :-)
- "Dumping Syndrom" - OMG!!! The nurse at the hospital gave me some very diluted grape juice and all of a sudden it was like my life was about to end - Everything I had read about the condition, but worse!
