First post-op appointment

YEAH for the 8 pounds!!!    It sounds like you got some great advice!!  You'll be surprised how much better you feel within the next couple of weeks.

Good first checkup, Kelly. I HATED having my drain pulled...Good Lord Almighty, it hurt but it was over quickly. Thankfully I had mine out before I left the hospital.

Fantastic on the 8 lbs...you are gonna blow us all out of the water when you sign in on the Sunday Weigh In thread this coming Sunday!

Woot woot! Happy to hear that your appointment went well and that you are feeling better. Agree with using the spirometer...I would do it really fast to get it done and found it was doing nothing for me. Then when I did the long, hard blows I would cough and hack---not good.  So when I got home I was faithful using it for the first week and it did make a difference!

Eight pounds is great!! You probably lost more than that given all the fluids you had to get rid of from the surgery and post op. 

Can't wait to watch your journey

 He's nice to you now because he has all  your money.  LOL!!!  Glad your doing well.

I am glad you don't have infection!  Ouch about the drain, 

For some reason, I was thinking I would not have a drain after surgery..does everyone? Dsers?  I will try to remember to take extra pain meds before that!!!

Keep on healing well!
