Week 3 post-op, have lost 31 lbs! Last night was my last available dose of pain medicine, but I need suggestions if what to take that isn't horribly huge, perhaps chewable or liquid, and can be split or crushed if needed. I'm still having this great pain only in the spot my stomach was taken out of. The outside is fine and healing well, but the inside feels like someone is tearing me and burning me with a lighter when I move!
Though the pain is present, it's a good feeling knowing that this has been my first holiday season that I'm LOSING weight rather than GAINING!
It's been a great couple of days celebrating with my family...Christmas has been so much more fun with having a little person of our own to shop for!!
