1 week post opt- LOST 12 Pounds Already

I have to honestly say the first 3 days were ruff- when I mean ruff - not eating, very sore.
I had 1 throw up - I had anti nausau.. now fine.. I have been living off of Cottage Cheese, and cheese sticks. Tried egss, YUCK.. few times I ate 1/2 bite too much.. WOW.. hurts.. Either than that.. had issues w/ no bowel movement, after 2 oz of Milk of Magnesia and an enemia.. finally able to go.. MANN...

Either than that i am out feeding the chickens, and walking allot.

I have to say I am in allot of pain - some of it was from not having a Bm and the left side pain is horrible. I have been out from pain meds, and they won't give me anymore, and tylenol is just not making it..

So either than that.. SO HAPPY I did it.. ONLY REGRET is my insurance coverage.. as I am moving into a new position in 1 month and they covered it at 100%.. but can't focus on that now.. Just focus I am on my way and I am not going back..

I refuse to listen to people being negative and comments - i am on my way to my new life..

 Good for you all around!  :)

 You are doing awesome!!!   Is that 12lbs from the day before surgery or does that include the fluids that went on with the surgery.   I'm one week out today.  When I came home on Saturday I was up 10lbs of fluid.   Today I'm down that 10 plus another 3.   I haven't eaten a whole lot more than some soup and yogurt, but getting there.  I'm still on pain meds, I would be really upset if they cut me off right now, we need them.

Everything will be great!  I am 3 weeks out and i still have that horrible left side pain.....they told me i pulled a muscle over there so i'm just trying to take it easy.  I have the liquid tylenol but it makes me tired so i dont take it....other than that i'm doing great and have lost 29 pounds already!  I'm so happy i did this as well, and no regrets! 

There will always be HATERS....just keep doing you!
