1 Day Post Op

I had my surgery yesterday 7/26 and I'm still very sore and have lots of gas pain. I had a hyatal hernia that was fixed as well. Most of my pain is under my right boob. Very painful contractions there. I'm walking quite a bit and I was able to drink 2 crystal lites and 1 protein drink today. I was 228 when I first started my journey and weighed in at 216 yesterday prior to surgery. I can't wait to get started on my program. Good luck to all you guys that are still waiting it's not so bad. Walk, Walk, Walk...

Thank you for that kind blog post for all of us that are just starting out. Everyone says walk, walk, walk and my problem there is no place to walk where I live. I was wondering walking in place will work. I have no choice but that unless I get in the car and go into the the city which takes gas.

We have the same surgery date and the same hiatal hernia that was found at the time of surgery. I hope you are feeling better today.
