8 days out and had check up this morning
I am officially down 21.4 lbs!!! (That includes pre-op, but I will take it!) I also had my drain removed. Thank goodness. I don't think I could have gone another day with that dreadful thing! Now my only complaint is itching and redness from the tape used on my sutures:( I am taking benadryl and still itching like mad. I am still having a hard time getting all my protein in, but I am working on it. I am officially lighter than I was the day I delivered my daughter! Only 8 days out and so far..I LOVE MY SLEEVE!
Good for you! I'm 9 days out and I've lost 14 lbs including pre-op loss. I'll also take it. I've always been a slow loser, so I'm trying to concentrate on complying to the diet (which has not been a problem at all) and just getting my fluids in (which is actually quite difficult).

Way to go!
You might want to try some topical anti-itch lotion like Calahyst, etc. to see if that will help. The protein gets easier. I still double up the scoops of protein powder in my morning drink so I start off the day with 40-45 g. Once I moved to full liquids I started stirring some plain greek yogurt into my broth.
Keep up the good work!

20 pounds.....good for you! Keep it up! What I did is tried to get the tape off, yes I stood there and rolled it around and pulled it off, for the itching I used benadrill lotion, use some soap and warm water on it too...I know that even 6 days out Im still finding that blasted tape somewhere but I do rub at it to get it off or it will keep itching like crazy.. Good luck
