  1. Just had my one month post surgical appointment - all is going well. My surgeon worked to get me to not be upset with the three week stall that she turned into two weeks. All in all I'm happy with the surgery but I did the surgery to get down a 100 pounds not ten. So back to my water, protein and walking hopefully the stall will end soon. 

  2. So here I am at one week post op and feeling great. Even the gas problems disappeared. Yesterday and today I got back into my 30 minute walk routine feels great. Tried on some clothes I wore to work end of June and they don't fit! Probably because of the 40 pounds I lost pre op. But either way best decision I've made in a long time.

      Isn't it a great feeling? I just did my first overhaul of my closet and half of the stuff is being donated. The other stuff I had from when I was smaller and looks even better now! Great job and keep up the good work!

  3. Two days post op and so far the worst part is the severe gas - I've been doing lots of walking, every hour I'm up and gone so hoping gas will calm down.

      The gas was the most painful thing for me. My incisions barely hurt at all. Walking is the best solution. I think a hot shower felt great also and always made me feel better. Good luck to you.

      I had the same experience. I told my friends I felt like a Macy's thanksgiving day parade balloon. My nurse told me the same Apple1 said...walking is the best thing. I had surgery on a Monday and by that Friday I was "gassed out".
