I was at 227.8 surgery day, went up to 233, which I expected. No change until today, 5 days post op, then I dropped to 218. It takes a while for the IV fluids to work their way out. No BM's yet, but at least there was a change on the scale. More walking, more water and I expect that the bowels will wake up.
one week post op & feelin' so much better!
