1 week post op........................

Well 1 week post op and I am down 15 lbs. and feeling good. Came home from the hospital Saturday and was at my office for a few hours by Monday. I find  the biggest help was listening to my Doc and Sip and Walk. I was already doing laps in the Recovery room and just kept it up. Only real pain was yesterday when he took a drain out. Thought I was going to die. But seriously just always keep abottle in hand and walk. So far so good!

Congrats on the 15lb loss already!  My only advice to you  is DON"T PUSH TOO HARD!  It is wonderful that you feel well enough to go into the office but don't do anything that is going to push you back any steps.... I took five weeks off but could have easily went back to work my third week.  But be warned.. You will be surprised at how tired you can get easily the first month or two... But you bounce back quickly once those pounds strat dropping.  You are right on the sip and walk advice... Keep up the good work! Best wishes for your journey... Lori
