Today is my 13th day post-op. I have not been on the scale. When I went for an 8-day post-op to have my JP drain removed ( man- that felt weird) I was down 19 lbs - but I had not been weighed since 10 days before surgery, so I'm not sure what is liquid diet loss and what is surgery loss. Either way, I'm happy with it !!! I feel pretty good, but it was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. This was the only surgery I have ever had. I have a high pain tolerance- had both my kids without pain meds and my son was over 10 lbs. so I know what pain feels like ! I still have a very sharp pain in the incision closest to my belly button when I move, walk ,cough or try to bend over. I am thankful I am tolerating my "food" with very little nausea and no vomiting. This pureed food stage has to go - I can't take that baby food consistency ! I think I look a little thinner already, although my belly still feels a little bloated. I am so excited for the following months while losing !!
