I'm a little dissappointed. It is day 2 post-op and I weigh 5 pounds more than I did the day of my operation. I've had over 60grams of protein each day and less than 650cals each day. What the hell?

I don't really expect my weight to just fall off nonstop but it would be nice to at least be where I started. I guess I should just weigh myself weekly.

My first doctors appointment is November 8th. That is three weeks from now.

I am not in much pain today. I only took pain meds as needed- only three times all together today. Which is better compared to every four hours the day befor. My incisions look pretty good. They are itchy. The big one is a little red. I worry about infection so I'm not messing with it. My hunger isn't bad. I just keep the protein drinks I need to consume around so I sip on them all day. I'm eating about the same things I ate on my pre-op diet only less. I can't wait to be all healed up. It will be nice to exercise again. This is such an exciting journey... I'm on the BANDWAGON! and I can't believe it.
