I had a hard time the first couple of weeks and I ended up taking 3 weeks off and then only working part time the 4th week. One of the bigger things for me the first few weeks was my sense of smell was extremely heightened. I was also pretty dehydrated for the first month or so. Still have to keep an eye out for it because it can be hard sometimes because you can't just gulp down a bottle of Water anymore. I'm having a tough time clothes wise. I don't want to purchase anything new yet but I'm now at the point that my jeans and shorts will barely stay up even with a belt. So I'm going to have to do it. My surgery was April 29th and I've lost 60+ pounds so far. And I've down 3 or 4 pant sizes. Hah I probably shouldn't have replied this late because I'm just rambling on and probably not too helpful.

I started at 341 and had surgery April 29th. I am only weighing myself once a week but last Friday I was 303. So close!

I use ice all the time as well.

All I can say is that it gets better. I had revision surgery from lap-band to RNY on April 29th. First 3-4 weeks was not great at all. Everything I ate made me feel sick. But you can get thru it. I decided pre-surgery that I wouldn't weigh myself more than once a week. And I've pretty much stuck to that and it really helps because you are better able to see the results.
