Well I am officially one week post op and had my follow up appointment... if you can call it that, they weighed me, asked about the medicines, kinda checked my incisions and then off they went.

Anyways I have officially lost 13 lbs in one week!!!! I am so excited. I can see it in my face.

How are all the other postopers doing?

I'm only four days out so you've got me beat by a little bit!  lol  According to the scale at my mom's house I"ve already lost 10 pounds.  Totally not surprising being that the little bit I can eat is all liquid and not high calorie!  lol  If I could've done this before I wouldn't have needed surgery!

My first follow up is supposed to be at three weeks out but my doctor is on vacation then so my follow up won't be until the 21st of January (at 4 weeks)  I'll let you know how that goes!

Keep up the good work and remember to sip, walk and get that protein in!

Glad you are pain free, I know I  can't wait for the day when I can say I am pain free... that will be so NICE! Oh yeah, I am sure it will be great to eat regular food.

Wahoo for 13 lbs!  

The large incision is my main area for pain too... ohh today it felt like something ripped inside of me. OUCH, I was doubled over. And getting on the floor, goodness I did that on Christmas to watch my kids open presents. That was just a silly think to do! LOL

I am one week also. I don't think I lost one pound.

But Than again i am so friggin hungry all the time. I think I am eating what I did before the surgery. Only it is all protein and no fat.


Most if not all of my pain is gone. It is only wen I lay down or wen driving. The wiggle in my belly is still there, well you get the idea.


Congrats to evrybody that is losing. It is good to hear that

Hey Tom,  I am still pretty hungry all the time too.  I know everyone says that they are just not hungry anymore.  But I am the complete opposite.  I feel hungry alot and actually sometimes wake up at night to my stomach's growling hunger pains.  I know some of what I am feeling is "head hunger", but not all the time.    So what kind of things are you eating?  Are you strictly on liquids right now?

Tom, I am jealous... Your driving. I want to drive but they told me no driving yet. Of course I am still taking pain meds.

Sorry to hear you haven't lost anything. You will...
