5 days post op and WOW...checking in

I am down 17 lbs including my pre-op.
I am down 9 body inches.
I have no pain
I have no gas
I have no bruising
I have no outward signs of surgery
I had a mild pink vaginal discharge as a result since day 1 post-op which is almost gone.
I have no problems with bowel movements
I have no problems getting in approx 50-60 oz of clear fluids a day.
I am getting in about 30g protein, working on increasing that
I stopped pain meds day I got home, could have stopped sooner, took them for plane ride home
I have NO hunger
I am still (of course) on full clear fluids as per Dr Alvarez's instructions.
I have no issues with acid
My tummy prefers warm to hot liquids vs cold ones.
My nose runs when I am full.

I am STUNNED....for not doing this sooner.

XO Jane

Jane,

I am glad this has been so smooth for you.

That encourages me greatly and gives me a lot of comfort as I am scheduled for 4/ 27.

Thanks for sharing that.

Wow! Great job! Sounds like this was a piece of cake for ya! I sure hope things go that smooth for me when I finally get my surgery.

All good!

I don't understand the runny nose but I've seen other people talk about it. 

Welcome to the other side.

Glad all is well.

Congrats on your surgery!  LOL my nose runs too when I am full and people think I am nuts when I say that!!
Good luck to you!

Congratulations...your doing a great job and I look forward to hearing more about you as you continue forward!
