I had my surgery on Feb 4th, I have lost 12 lbs, however...i have not lost a single pound this week, feel a bit bummed out about it. I also went back to work a week later and that was fine, surprised at how fast I felt good. My pre-surgery weight was 206, today I am 194, been there for a week Not sure why, I even started walking on the treadmill every other day for 45 min, about 2.5 miles. I hope this is what they call the 3 week stall. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Just seems I eat such a little bit and should lose more. I'll remain optimistic though, I know it takes time, just ready to see that scale in the 180's already. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts/inspirations to share. Thanks.

Definetly not the Monday after a Friday surgery. I didnt come home from the hospital until Monday. I went back to work the following Monday and was fine. You will need at least a week at home recovering and focusing on yourself and getting in your proteins etc. Dont rush it, I would of taken a second week, but like you needed to get back to work. 1 week off minimum. Good luck.!

You look FANTABULOUS!!!! Congrats, I am 2 weeks out and so far so good. How much did you lose?

Wow, I felt nothing at all, my surgeon came in and removed it, was so fast and i didnt feel a thing. Sorry that you had so much pain, it's all worth it!

I had my surgery last Friday (a week ago) and went to my follow up today, lost 10lbs!! OMG! I cant believe it. My surgery went very well, no complications, first few days are a little tough, I came home Monday and every day feel better and better. Today I actually feel great, went shopping, etc. No regrets at all. The first week is a bit hard trying to get in all the liquids but it went by really fast. GOOD LUCK ON MONDAY. My surgery day weight was 206, was 196 today!

I agree, it is DISGUSTING!!!

You should definetly call your doctor. I am no expert, but I have heard that you can get a hernia post op, prob not what it is, but go it checked out for sure. Good Luck, hope you feel better soon.

I had foley catheter, drain tube and IV for fluids. Was no big deal at all and I am super queasy with tubes, needles etc.

I just had surgery on Friday and they did give me heparin shots in the hospital but now that I am at home, I am giving myself lovenox shots twice a day for 10 days. Pretty easy to do.

Friday at 2:00 pm... i am getting scared and nervous and excited. Accepting all good vibes and prayers. Is it Sunday yet? Hopefully will get to come home on Sunday if all goes well.

6 more sleeps!!! woo hoo, I cannot wait. Goodluck Feb Sleevers.

February 4th!!!!! 6 days and counting. I am in Los Angeles.
