2 days post op!

First let me thank all of you who sent me well wishes. My Dr says my surgery went great, I can't tell you how happy I was to hear those words. Now my journey starts. I have a little pain, but not much. It's been difficult to get fluids in but I keep sipping anyway. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous. I want to do everything right. I haven't stepped on the scale yet; it's too soon right? Anyhow I could go on and on, this decision took me 4 years to make and I believe I'm going to be very happy. So scooch over, I'm on the loser's bench too!

Hello, I am 4 days post op.....I have weighed myself but it showed a gain from my preop weight due to swelling and probably gas, too....so I am not counting until I am below my pre surgery weight....

I agree good advise, I'll wait on stepping on the scale.

Congratulations and good luck!!  hope you continue to feel better and better  :) 

Thank you, each day gets a little easier!

Damn iPad again! I am tracking everything on MFP and watching my urine to make sure I am not getting dehydrated and feel pretty good. Went to the mall and walked a bit with frequent rest breaks but was a bit wiped after that...take care and sip, walk, and rest still!

Thank you

9 days post op here. I weighed myself every day in the beginning but I was not looking for weight loss - I was looking for weight gain from being in the hospital etc. I gained 6 pounds in the hospital eating absolutely 0 calories for close to 40 hours. So i was watching to see if it was continuing to climb after I got home (it didn't) and how quickly it started to go back down. I was at pre-op weight on day 4 or 5. Now I am 5 pounds lower. Still not counting it yet. Just monitoring it. For my own fascination.

Welcome to the loser's bench. Happy to have another friend here.

Thank you,I'm happy to finally be here.

Congratulations! I will be 2 weeks post op on Monday. Yes, it's too soon to weigh. I was 8 pounds above my surgery day weight when I got home. Now I'm down 9 pounds from my surgery weight. I'm sure I've lost more but I'm still on IV fluids 2 x daily and that keeps me a bit swollen. I wish I had taken my measurements because my clothes are too big already! 

best wishes everyone!
