5 days post op

I had my surgery last Wednesday. I felt kind of rough the first day home, but now feel really good. Very little pain....more feels like there is a weight on my stomach. I've been careful about what I eat and have done some walking. I've only lost 4 pounds since surgery. I was expecting more. Is this normal? I'm impatiently waiting to see results.

Blessings on your journey. :)

Did you weigh right before and right after? I went in weighing 237 but gained up to 250 because of all the fluids and stuff. It took me like 5 days just to get back to the 237 and then start losing.

They weighed me right before surgery. I weighed the day after I got home and had lost 4 pounds. Haven't lost anything more. I'll try again in a few days and see if anything has happened.

That's great news. I'm at Mid Dakota as i text. Made it through with Dr Brooks so the next couple hours should be great.
