Well today and I am one week post op and finally feeling better. It was a really long week as I had a lots pain and nausea most of it. I was able to go to the Gym this morning walked on the elliptical for 30 mins. It really felt so good to move again. Just need to get through another week or so of liquids. The good news is I am getting all my protein and liquids in now, so I feel really good about that. I even lost 5 lbs since being home. Woo Hoo

Yah, my doc said no elliptical for 4-6 weeks. Way to go, I'm glad you are feeling better. I can't believe you are getting all your protein and fluids in. That's crazy!!

Can you drink enough fluids for me, please?? I have been getting in about 40oz a day the past week (my surgery was the day before yours).
I have to take my painkillers just about everyday still, though normally only once. I'm sure Tylenol would help, too, though not as much. I ALSO have had nausea for the majority of the past week. First couple of days specifically from the anesthesia, but the rest I think from laying down so long and taking my meds. I have a scopolamine patch behind my ear, too (it's for motion sickness).

I'm really glad you are doing so well!!!

That is great to hear you are doing so good. I have my surgery on April 27th, 2010. I am looking forward to my weight loss journey myself. All the best of luck to you.
