3 Weeks Postop

I had my surgery on Sept. 29 at the Bariatric Treatment Center in PA. Everything went great! I haven't had any problems. My surgery weight was 345lbs and am now down 24lbs!!! I was most concerned about pain before my surgery. I have to say it really wasn't that bad (and I'm a big baby!!). The soreness lasts for a little while, but it gets better every day. At 3 weeks, the soreness is almost gone. The hardest part is not being about to eat for almost 3 weeks. I started pureed food on Saturday. I get a little nauseas (sp?) now and then, but it goes away. It just feels good to be able to eat again.

Hi Dawn , Iam also 3 weeks po. I had mine on 21 of oct. I had kidney stones the first week and had to go to er again next week with gas. Iam having problems going to the bathroom. But I know Iam not drinking enough****er. I sure hope we do well. Take care write when you can Wanda

Wanda, thanks for you reply. I am now 7 weeks postop and have lost 36lbs. Really slow! It's driving me nuts! I haven't been able to exercise cause I have a torn meniscus. I'm having surgery on my knee on Dec. 4. Not looking forward to going through another surgery, but am looking forward to finally being able to exercise. Good luck to you!
