I Made It! I am Almost One Week Out!!!

Woop Woop! I made it! I am almost one week out from my surgery! Boy let me tell you what, my surgeon was just the best in the whole world! Could not ask for a better guy! Everything is going good so far, I am a little sore still from the surgery, but only had to take the prn pain meds I think 3 times since surgery! Trying to get in all the fluids that I can, still having the nausea, in the morning and in the evening. Oh my gosh, I even get nausious when I smell food cooking! But, with being so far away from my surgeon, 4 hours away, I am thankfull that he has an assistant, CJ, that comes to my side of the world once a month, so I get to see her. My followup will be about a week shy of being a month from surgery.
But, today, had to step on the scale and just see what it told me, hoping it was down at least a few, and oh my gosh! not even a week out and I am down 25 pounds! I am sure it is all water weight, but I will take it!

YEEEEEHAAAAAAA!!! Congrats and welcome to the losers bench baby!
Now... don't give water weight all the credit. You are losing more than just water!!!! You are doing awesome!!!!! Isn't it the most amazing feeling! Keep up the great work! Make sure you take all your supplemental vitamins and protein!

So sorry you are struggling with the nausea. This is going to sound very very odd, but ... suck on a dill pickle! Honest! It helps calm the nausea. Just don't get carried away and eat it! You'll also find you enjoy the intense flavor.
So glad to have you back with us. Keep us posted and take excellent care of yourself!
Hugs and love!
