My surgery was one week ago today. It has been a challenge to stay hydrated, the first few days I was pretty dehydrated and almost went to the hospital a few times. But I pulled through and had no major complications!

The stats:

Preop diet weight loss 15 lbs and lost 11 pounds this week for a total of 26 pounds in two weeks!

I know this is just the beginning but I'm really excited for the rest of the journey!

Awesome!!! Yup this is just the beginning of your. new lease on life. Congrats!

Congrats ! In right behind you ! I lost 15 pounds this week ! What the heck ?!??

How has ur pain been?

Wow!!! That's amazing!!! Soooo excited for you!!

That's really exceptional. I hope I can do as well as you

Thanks! I only lost 4 pounds this week so I'm not too pleased with the results. But that's still 30 pounds in three weeks.

The pain was not bad. On day 8 I walked the mall for over an hour. I went walking 2 miles three times this week with no real pain. I've gone back to all normal housework, cooking, gardening, etc. I could be working but am going to take advantage of this while I can. I go back next week.

As soon as I hit the one month mark will start couch to 5k!

I am three days post op. in pain and bleeding from wounds. Help is this normal?

Not bleeding ... Please call your doctor if you are having pain that is not being relieved by pain meds or walking .!!

I never had any bleeding at all. A tiny bit of drainage, which they said was normal. I would definitely check with the doctor unless someone else says it's normal.

Yea I would call the Doc ASAP! I had drainage the day of the surgery but nothing after. I'm 4 days post op and pain is all but gone. Just feel sore like I did a billion sit-ups/crunches. The incisions feel itchy every now and then but I just scratch around it and move along. But you shouldn't be bleeding at all.

I hope you get better really soon. I'll be praying for you. Try to move around, walk as much as you can. Like after each nap make it a point to walk longer each time.
