Post op Day 4

Feeling much better then the past few days, just tired. One question I have is that my face is all puffy and I have a blazing headache. I know I'm full of fluid cause my weight has not gone down at all. But I'm hydrating and urinating as recommended but wonder if this is "normal", or should I call the doc? Like I said other then the headache and puffiness I feel pretty good.

    I had a nasty headache, too. I don't know if it was caffeine withdrawal or residual anesthesia. Either way, it will pass. The puffiness, though, that could be Water retention. Check with your doc

Headache is normal but I didn't have the puffy face. I am only 5 weeks out everybody is different , if you are comfortable with something call your doc that what there for.Don't consume your self with the scale it will drive you nuts. I was on it twice a day for 5 days until I told myself once week.

Good luck on your journey this is on of the best decisions I ever made , my only regret is I should of done it 5 years ago. Down 55 lbs as of today

Thanks for the insight. Swelling is down today. Headache could be a combination of caffeine, withdrawl, anethesia and allergies. It comes and goes so I'm going to mention it at my 1 week postop.
