Great morning fello OH'er's...........Hope that everyones Friday has started out exceptionally blessed. I'd like to take a minute to update everyone about my experiences thus far. I have felt really good. I walked a mile yesterday and have had no problems getting in all of my fluids and protein the first two days post-op. I've had minimal soreness and haven't had any pain meds since before I left the hospital on Wednesday morning. Thank God for my sleeve and for keeping me comfortable throughout the process.

Starting weight: 350
Pre-op weight (day of surgery): 338
Weight this morning: 332

That is awesome!!

I am right there with you.  I came home from the hospital on Thursday.  I did take the pain meds yesterday and last night.  But I slept in my own bed. 

Starting weight :  308  Surgery weight: 298  Current weight: 303
I am still working off all the fluid pumped into me for 3 days.

Congrat's!! Looks like we started around the same..i was 354 before surgery..after 2 wk preop diet i had surgery at 340 lbs..

I also had a really easy time with everything. Only needed pain med's twice after getting home from the hospital.  So happy to hear you are doing well..that's awesome!

Sounds like you're doing fantastic!  I'm a bit nervous about the pain (surg: 8/19), so hearing you say you're doing well, gives me some hope that it's not as bad as I'm thinking!  Good luck!  I look forward to seeing your progress!
