Well, My DS has done it!!!
Today is the 24th of Feb...I had my DS on 24th of Jan. 30 days out and I can now say my DS has done it. The only time I remember my weight being less than 210 is when my weight was escalating when I got pregnant 13 years ago. I started at 202....and ballooned up to past 240. this am I weighed in at 209.2. Not in my wildest dreams did I think or believe this would happen after 30 days of surgery. 31 lbs. I am still getting used to this whole DS way of life. I start back at my 12 hour job tomorrow night and I am a little nervous....only because of my bathroom schedule....but I will get through. Thanks to all the people who have helped me out during this start of my journey. It was pretty scary at first. It still kind of is. But I am getting through and feeling much better. It does get better. It really does!!!!!
Yeah! Good for you. : ) Good luck getting back to your schedule. I hope you'll be able to rest some and get plenty of fluids.

I my DS
glad you're happy, it just keeps getting better from here on out.
i remember when it was time to get back into the routine, you may struggle at first, but your body will adjust. my commute can be over an hour, believe me, i know every bathroom at every exit on hightway. to this day, i carry a small can of air freshener in my purse for those emergency pit stops. don't want to violate the ladies room too badly for the next person, lol
good luck tomorro.

it's not anything permanent. just that early on, your new insides are angry and upset from the surgery. eliminating is a bit on the loose side. not too much in the way of being solid and if the call "to go" happens, it usually is urgent and happens fast.
everyone is different and experiences vastly different.
