      Swelling is down, drain has nearly stopped. Took advantage of feeling better to get a solid nap. Also did better with intake today. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

      Lots of walking yesterday and today.About 300 yds, x8. Had some minor issues w/cramping, so keeping me another night. Did have a runny BM; that helped. I was dreading that, glad to have it behind me,

    Concentrate on the fluids. They're most important. The protein can wait.

    Today was my first post-op weight check. I gained two pounds. I was braced for that: edema, Fluid retention, etc. but I am looking forward to making progress again.

    You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, it isn't uncommon once you're out of the hospital.

    Skipped a day, because nothing new happened on Thursday. Today had a couple of milestones: the drain was removed, which was an unusual experience. Also hit 50 total pounds lost, which is 25% of my primary goal.

    Not much changing except I am very tired of Protein shakes and the like. They were ok when I could chug them down, but sipping on them for hours is really wearing on me. Only a few more days to soft foods, so I'll deal with it. Weigh-in was 369 for a net loss of 56 lbs. It is encouraging to see that middle digit change. :)
