10 days post op - update

Had surgery on 9/13 - everything went great. Doctor said it was a textbook surgery (whatever that is). Currently having issues with gas, diarrhea, and not wanting food. I can't get over the feeling that I am eating all the time, so how am I going to lose weight. Really in no pain just some discomfort if I move too quick. Oh well, the experience as a whole was great. The doctors and nurses were very informative, interesting, and caring. Dr. Schechner is absolutely wonderful. Hope everyone has an easy surgery and recovery. Amy

Glad you are doing so well! Am anxious to hear updates along your journey. My surgery is Monday....appreciate your thoughts and prayers! Keep up the good work, Betty

It is great your doing so good. Don't worry your losing. Sometime stop and actually look at how much your eating and compare that to what you use to eat. Like when I had some chili today. Usually I would go to Wendy's and get a #6, a large chili with crackers and cheese and a large drink. Tonight I got a small chili, no cheese, no crackers and I only ate the beans. I gave the meat to my hubby which is what I usually do anyway. Now I felt like I was cheating or something eating what I ate but I bet if I measured what I had it would probably only have been 1/4 cup of beans. I am sure your doing everything your suppose to be doing and your going to love that scale come weigh in time. Best of luck to you. Shannon
