Today is my one week surgerversary and I weighed yesterday (Fridays are my weigh days) and I was down 11.2 lbs since the morning of my surgery! And I lost a little over 5 lbs on the pre-op diet, so 16 lb all together! I'm pretty damn excited. I know it won't always be like that, but I'm happy for the jump start! I'm feeling really good and was actually already given the ok to eat purée. Thank you guys for your support :-)

Ouch really? I'm sorry to hear that! I hope it heals soon!

The incisions all look good! The only one that even hurts is where the drain was, and that was just taken out yesterday morning. :-)

Finally home!!

Thank u! I lived thru it . Lol. Capt Detel- How was flying after u had ur surgery? In nervous to fly today. It's only an hour and 20 min flight

Omg trying to drink the purple stuff to get my leak test. Nastiest stuff ever!!! I don't know how I'm guna finish it all

I'm pretty good. The worst part is the gas pains

Yaz- make sure your mom brigs something to do, Because shel have a lot of down time while you guys aren't together. Lvnmom- pre-op they take blood, and do an EKG and have u fill out a questionnaire about your health and history. They hook u up to iv fluids and you just wait your turn. I was lucky cuz I went second. Some had to wait a lot longer.

How exciting! And your welcome! I did bring the gas x strips, and I've only used them twice. They'd rather u get the gas out then use the strips tho. With all the gas u have, I'm not sure if they help or not. The gas pains haven't completely gone away yet, so it's hard to tell. I'm Sure they help though. As for recommendations, are u bringing a support person?

Oh good, I'm excited to go there! I have Ice chips now and it kinda hurts when u swallow after it melts in your mouth. Not as joyful a moment as i had anticipated when I got to have ice. Lol!

Hopefully u guys can see this pic

Hey all!!!! So sorry it toll so long to update! The gas pains were awful yesterday and last night. Way better this morning!
