I just want to brag a little bit....

Today marks 6 days post op and today has been my BEST day yet!!! I finally feel normal again! I put makeup on, left my house for awhile and felt great!! Decided to weigh myself for the first time and I’m down 14 pounds in 6 days! Wahoo!!! I’ll admit, I was in a slump for a couple of days post op feeling a bunch of negative emotions. Today I’m feeling great! Not to mention, it’s the first day post op that I haven’t had to take anything for pain or nausea!!!

Ps....I’m choosing to remain private about my journey with WLS...only telling close family and close friends and I’m so glad I have you guys to relate to!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, it gets better every day. Glad you're feeling well. Good luck on your journey.

That's great! Good luck! You are not alone.

Congratulations! Yes Brag! You deserve it! 14 pounds, that's truly awesome!

Sounds about right. I was taking my dog short walks on my 6th day. Be careful, take it easy, and don't feel alarmed if you feel a bit of pain again on your 7th, 8th or 10th day..... Take extra strength Tylenol if the pain gets a bit too much. I stopped taking the prescribed pain pills 4 days after my surgery coz it was making me very loopy. I went back to work on day 12 but I mostly sit in front of the computer so it wasn't so bad. Refrain from standing up without using the arm chair to pull you up. Also I used the stomach support wrap with velcro that the hospital gave me when I go for my walks.

Like you, I decided I won't share my surgery to the world yet. Some of my family members and close friends know about it. I think I'll be ready to share the good news to everyone once I've lost my first 50 pounds. I had my surgery February 18th so a month and a day today and I've lost 33 pounds so far. Yahooo! I'm contemplating that most of my friends and family will be supportive, but there will be a few that will judge, and that's why I chose just not to share it with the world yet. I don't need the negative comments at this point. I need to focus and concentrate on me.

Good Luck! Excited for you.

Sounds like we're Bari neighbors. Today marks (up 3/20) marks 6 days Post-Op for me. Go you!!!
