today is my one week post op! yey! I am down 9 lbs since surgery. i started at 280, presurgery weight was 268. I came home from the hospital at 277, wow they really pumped me upwith the IV fluids. I lost that real quick. Today I am 259!!! I feel great, still some pain on my right side from the gallbladder. Only taking the loritab  twice a day, once when i get up and then before i go to bed. have my first dr visit on thursday. hopin i can lose a couple more pounds before then. I have not been walking that much due to the severe soreness, but today i walked to the end of our road and back. i will try to do that twice today and also have to go to walmart (yuck) to get catfood. I am very grateful for my husband who has taken such good care of me. even in the middle of the night, if i move the wrong way, he wakes up to see if i need him to get something or is I am alright. so sweeet!! I will take my measurements today also to see if I lost any inches. My husband said I already look thinner. lol. Im so happy I did this!!

 on fluids i currently try to get up at 6 am and drink my coffee along with an 11 oz premier protein shake. When i am done i start on my 16 oz bottle of water. I am usually through with that by 9 am and start on my second bottle of water. I make a cup of chicken broth for lunch and ususally around 12 pm have a sytrax nectar with skim milk. then start ona third bottle of water and drink a protein shake for dinner. Coffee is at 8 pm... yea! so I take in about 100 oz of fluids and 90-100 gms of protein a day. with about 510 calories.
