One week post-op

Good morning friends, Well, today I am one week post-op. That feels good to say. I am so glad it is behind me. I am still having a small pulling pain in my left side. The pain elixer doesn't seem to help but it is minor. I go back to the DR. tomorrow. I weighed this a.m. and have lost 19.5 lbs by my scale. Nice! Does that seem to be normal? I have heard most ppl say they lost alot more. Anyway, tomorrow I can eat cream soup.........Woo Hoo!!! I am bored stiff. Hope I don't get addicted to the computer.....lol Okay, I will shut up. Pam

Pam - I am still pre-op so I do not know how much is "normal" but your loss sure sounds great to me!! Keep up the good work. I am glad that you are feeling better in general, sorry about the pain, hopefully that will go away soon. Have a good day, Nancy

Thanks Nancy, Your turn is coming and we can "walk" you thru too. Pam

Pam, sounds like you're doing GREAT!! I lost 22# in the first 10 days and I thought I hadn't lost much.. but don't worry .. don't try to compare yourself to how others did.. just take it a day at a time. Congratulations, Pam.. It's great to see you on the boards again! Stef

Thanks Stef, I am kind of in shock about this. It took me all last summer and I don't know how many walking miles to lose 8 lbs. This is amazing. Thanks again, Pam
