Post op week 2
Things are going well. That pain on my left side isn't a hernia, just normal muscle pain trying to heal and taking forever. But, there's a weird scale situation happening this week, and for whatever reason my doc was excited about it. Whatever, I'll go with it.
I lost 4 pounds this week, not bad I guess. This is where it gets weird.
I lost 6.5 lbs of fat, and I gained 1 lb lean muscle and 1.5 lbs water. Whatever crazy biological stuff is going on, I'm so glad it's taking my fat and keeping my muscle and water. I'm so relieved. Another guy who had surgery the day after me had to be readmitted to the hospital for dehydration. Poor guy. I'm so happy to be healing quickly and losing weight in a good way.
Overall, 16 days post op, 15 lbs gone-12 of them fat!
