4 Weeks Post-Op
Well, as of today, I am 4 weeks post Gastric Bypass 
Other than the incision site infection, only other complication is that today, I found some of the suturing material poking through the largest incision (where the infection was). No issues with it other than it's annoying (after I snipped it down flush). So far, I've lost 35 lbs and am still losing happily. The thing that's bugged me the most post operatively is that I feel as weak as a toddler and want to take naps regularly. Do realize that is part of the healing process, but it's completely opposite from my personality to HAVE to ask for help to open/lift/carry things. Today, I also did my first official 'work out' at the gym as well! 40 minutes/9.5 miles on the recumbent bike 
Am being good about no abdominals, but am REALLY wanting to do weights to stop the muscle mass loss!
Guess I'm done babbling for now.
Thanks for "listening"!
