Anyone feeling up to posting their weight loss?

July 30th RNY: I am sure I had alot of fluids and extra fluid I was carrying around, but I was really suprised to get on the scales tonight and I was down 9.5 pounds - It's only been since Monday. So really just 3 days!! I know everyone is different and some loose fast at first and some loose fast at other times. Also was curious if anyone was still taking pain meds or not. How many days post-op did you get off of them? I still feel like I need it, but I FOR SURE don't want to get "hooked" on it either.

I had surgery on the 19th, I'm down about 16lbs. as of today.

I lost 68 pounds pre-op, so my results probably aren't typical. My RNY was July 16th. 11 days later-- I had gained two pounds. 5 days after that-- I lost 14. Crazy stuff. As for pain meds- stop taking them if you're not having pain. I occasionally take a half teaspoon of codeine syrup to sleep, since I still have a large hematoma in my belly and have to sleep sitting up on the sofa still.

I had surgery on the 6th and as of this morning I've lost 32lbs since surgery. I lost 9 pre-op for a total of 41lbs. I stopped taking pain medication 2 days after I came home from the hosptial, so 4 days post-op was my last dose.

A lot of people said they didn't experience pain and I say Lucky them.... I had a lot of pain paticularly on my left side...it hurt so bad I continued to take my pain meds at night so I could sleep comfortably.... I took them for three weeks after which I wasn't having pain so I didn't need to take the stuff. Take it until your painless but try to limit it to bedtime if you can ........ Be comfortable no need to be in pain if you don't have to be!!!! Good Luck!!! Carla
