Well at 3pm today, I will be 4 days post-op. I am doing wonderful - Too good to be true. I don't think my Dr even did a RNY LOL. As of yesterday, I was up 5 lbs from the morning of surgery, but I'm assuming that's still the IV retention and gasses in me. I wasn't dehydrated before surgey, so not really sure why the IV would be weighing so much still in me.

Anyhow, here are some pics of the process:

As many bags of fluids i had, then i had a blaster bag to try to make me pee i know i gained prob 15 pounds of Fluid. I was very hydrated before surgery. It took me about 7 or 8 days to lose that fluid weight.

I wish my "before" tummy picture looked like yours! Lol. I can't see your stats on my phone but your tummy looks pretty good in that picture.

Thank you. I dropped a bunch of weight on the pre-op eating plan. My belly is like jello but I don't carry the majority of my weight there though luckily.
