hey everyone! thanks for replying....hope all is well & everyone is getting some relief from their tummy troubles :0) to b honest, today is the 1st day i had almost normal bowel movements-yaaaah! lol...it wasn't pretty day 3-6 :0( didn't take anything for it, figured it would work itsself out... msdenali- my surgeon recommends weekly weigh ins to avoid the panic....i do know the day i came home from the hospital i had actually gained 2 lbs! to say i was miffed is an understatement, lol...there i was feelin horrible AND was fatter to boot! obviously, its worked out...probably the iv fluids...dont' sweat it tho, ur gonna b fine :0) as for me, im not a shake person, actually gags me :0( ive been hitting the cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, cream of wheat, & chicken broth...i figure, after im clear to eat more regular food im gonna stick to proteins...i did start Natures Bounty Biotin 5000 super potency today to hopefully ward off any or most hair loss....hope this helps :0) Coykoi- yeah, it does take time, but thank goodness the pain subsides! i'm such a baby...truely cant stand pain :0( the walking helped, but wore me out at first....did i mention im SO freakin' glad i dont hurt now?? lol stomlin75-hope ur feelin better :0) im hopin u get some relief by day 5 or 6....thankfully i did! the short walks helped & weird, but raising my arms above my head while reclining made a huge difference, too. last night was the first night i slept the entire night in bed :0) things r looking up! :0)

here we go.... so thankful to b feeling so much better today. for some reason i felt worse when i came home from the hospital for the first 3 days....completely miserable.it was so bad i didnt even care if i was losing any weight, just wanted to not hurt :0( admittedly i have about zero tolerance to pain, so im sure many others dont have this experience. but..... im SO excited!! today is one week post op....just got on the scale & it says 239!!! yaaaah! looking forward to see how much progress i can make now that im actually feeling better :0) btw, anyone know how to update the weight loss ticker? duh...kinda' technologically challenged ;0) anyway, have a GREAT day everyone! :0)
