Hi! Well, this is my 6th day-post-op. Had my Gastric Bypass Surgery on Tues., May 15th. I wasn't nervous because I had a wonderful surgeon, Dr. Mark Sherrod. He had operated on me 2 other times with great results.

Anyway, it's strange, I can hardly tell I've had surgery, not much pain. Ofcourse, I can definately feel restriction when I have liquids. He first removed my Lap Band that had slipped and their was an obstruction and then converted me to Gastric Bypass. Spent 2 nightIs in the hospital felt great, walked the halls. My doctor made me promise to take the pain meds when I went home. At home, things are going fine, i'm walking about every 1.5 hrs or so. (not big on exercise) Protein shakes are a challenge, Water and fluids, popcicles ok. I do feel sleepy, not worn out by doing anything.

Yesterday, something funny did happen. I decided to weigh myself for the 1st time, my friend put his foot on the scale and it went up to 322 lbs. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I turned around and noticed he was teasing me. Anyway, thats about it for now.

LMFAO cute your friend putting the foot on scale.

Glad you feel good after surgery. Are you still on pain meds?

Glad your feeling well. A good laugh will never hurt anyone. Lol.

I had surgery on the 16th and everymornin I wake up I have to go on the scale is that weird or what.I started off at 378 and as of yesterday(because I haven't got to weight yet) I'm 361 yay! Me. Good luck to you keep in touch!!

I think i have to weigh everyday too and i need to stop. It is very discouraging. I have not lost but 2 lbs in a week. I lost 23 my first 2 weeks. Killing me.
