1 week post-op visit

Well, I went to my 1 week post-op visit yesterday and I lost......20 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought MAYBE I lost about 12 or so, but I just couldn't believe it when Stephanie told me 20!!! The numbers on the scale have not been that low in years. I had my drain pulled, which was one of the most uncomfortable experiences EVER. It was so alien-like and a feeling that I just can't describe. I am cleared to drive because I haven't been taking any pain medication and I am planning on going back to work on Thursday. Feeling good and not feeling hungry. Sometimes I find it hard to remember to eat! LOL Erin

Erin, Yeah!!! 20 lbs GONE !!! Yeah !! Congrats ! I can't wait to be able to tell you that I have lost such and such lbs ! I am sure it is a fantastic feeling ! Glad to hear you are feeling good ! Just be careful when you go back to work now . Even though your feeling good you still have alot of healing to do so take it easy .....Sweetie ! Take Care, & , Carol
