I'm one week post-op and had my first appt. My drain was removed---hallelujah!! I have lost 17 pounds this week! 17 unbelievable pounds!!!! I'm still in shock. And I get to move onto puréed foods too. Gonna have some fork-mashed salmon and puréed spinach. Sounds like a feast fit for a queen!!!

Congrats!!! That is so awesome!!!

How did u like the way the drain felt coming out??? That was the weirdest feeling ever

I had the drain out on the 3rd day.. Yuck.. Was gross.. lol

pureed diet is the worst!! Maybe because it was the longest diet for me but goodluck.

Congrats!!! That is so awesome!!!

Actually it happened so fast I didn't really feel more than a quick little "wiggle" inside me. Totally thankful for that since my mother told me she had a drain once and it felt like a "razor blade covered snake" coming out!!! Completely not my experience thankfully!

I am so worried about mine coming out in Thursday. It's been in for a month. I have a G drain, not a JP drain. The JP drain they pulled while still in the hospital. This one is in my old stomach and pulls and hurts all the time. I am freaked out about them pulling it but know I will be so happy to have it gone.

Mine wasn't painful either more shocking. I didn't know it was that deep inside I was always scared I would pull it out by accident. Lol it was a trippy feeling. Lol
