I had surgery on the 25th and I still have a lot of pain on the left side. Especially if I bend over or apply pressure to that side or if I turn over in bed upside down, it feels like my insides are ripping out. My md said all this was normal because "It is like we stabbed you four times and that takes time to recover." How crazy is that anology! Anyway at 17 days out I had lost 17 lbs, so I am pretty happy. My md realeased me to eat anything I wanted at 1 week post op. I am scared to bc I have already thrownup on LF cottage cheese (3 tablespoons of it) and on LF turkey lunch meat (2 ounces of it). So I am sticking to a protein drink, LF cottage, No sugar added applesauce, some chicken..not much, egg white substitute, & carb control yogurt. I have noticed a difference and I went from a VERY tight 28 jean to a VERY loose 24 or a tight 22...whooo hoooo! I have extra room in our recliner. My husband noticed that I am sitting way closer to the steering wheel, so his comment was that I must have lost a lot of weight in my butt...how funny. Anyway every lb makes a difference and we all lose at different rates and all md's put us on a different eating schedule. Just make sure you get your protein, water, vitamins and exercise and the weight will fall off. The entire 2nd week I did not lose a lb but I knew it would come of eventually and it did, in abundance! Good luck! We all need all the support we can get.
