Tomorrow will be 1-week Post-op

I feel great!

I have so much energy! Tomorrow will be the official 1 week post op date, and so far I have lost 15lbs!

The first few days after surgery, I was very depressed due to the gas pain. I didn't have shoulder pain, but I would almost do this silent burp, and all that would happen would be a sharp pain deep inside.

I have not felt hunger since the night before surgery, and this absolutely blows my mind! I already have some restriction as my surgeon leaves about 2-3ccs in the band during surgery.

Life is good! This is the best decision I have ever made!

Good for you Meg. I'm 3 weeks post op. I too was surprised at all the energy I had after healing despite how little I was actually taking in. It's an amazing feeling. I also felt restriction immediately but the more I healed and less swollen my stomach was the less I had. You may not have that issue. I go for my first fill next week (thursday). I hope I hit my sweet spot fairly quickly. Good luck to you on your journey!

Congrats! It's awesome to hear that you aren't hungry. Best of luck on your journey!

Congrats and wishing you a speedy recovery! :)

YAY Congrats!!! I was 1 week post op Monday and I feel great... I also have lost 15 lbs in one week and am amazed, but a little worried once I start eating i will gain it back, just like every other diet I have been on....The dr said that its possible I might but probably not so we shall see... So happy for you keep up the good work!!!
