6 days post op

so this morning at 4am I finally decided to get out of bed, it was an uncomfortable night with a mild chest tickle/cough, left sided pain, couldn't get comfortable and I felt like the soup I had last night was still sitting above my diaphragm.

I got up... took a Traumacet and paced in my kitchen for 10 min like a Jack Russell Terrier on doggy prozac.

Then my water and I came to the computer... shortly after my bowels started letting it be known that the office chair was not the seat of choice.

blah blah blah...tmi

then I stepped onto the scale. We have an old fashion dr's scale with the big and little metal weights... this morning I got to move the big weight over

250 on the nose folks... that's a 32 lb loss from my highest, 18 lbs since OPTI started Dec. 27, 2012... and a 4 1/2 lb loss in 6 days. I am now 100 lbs away from my first major goal :)

I know we all loose at different speeds, and some days/weeks/months will be better than others... but on a morning when I was not at my best, it sure felt great to slide that weight down on the scale.

Awesome!! Congrats!!

That's awesome Kat !

Good job!   I also have the same kind of scale and cannot wait to start pushing those weights to the left!!!

Good to see on are doing great. Our path probably crossed in the hospital hallway, had my surgery on the 16th. Glad to see you rare doing good. For myself I have ups and down,pain on left side being the worst of it.
