Day 4 post op

Well, I made it through day 4. It was my first day back to work  though I was a bit tender (hydrocodone helped) I did pretty well. I "ate" my liquids and sipped my liquids and did some walking around the building. It feels like the gas is just about gone. Got home and had my Slimfast Dinner..yummy....If all goes well, I can start adding solids to my meals on Sat. But the bottom line is that each day I feel better and im a bit more encouraged with this. Overall I have lost about 50 lbs. 30 through my own devices and about 20 pre-op. I havent weighed yet but I should be about 400 now. Beginning my descent to 200..or maybe even less. And away we goooooooooo........ 

I too was back to work fast, got out of the hospital on Friday (drove 250 miles home) and went to work on Monday.  9-weeks post op (Open Rny).  Everyday is better and better.  My biggest thing was wanting to 'gulp' some water, I got so tired of sipping...   I've been drinking a regular swollow of water for about 4 weeks now,  Last night I noticed I had about 4 swollows at one time.  I can eat almost anything (except sugar...)  However, I  only eat about 3 maybe 4 bites and that is it...
