I had my surgery yesterday 7/26 and I'm still very sore and have lots of gas pain. I had a hyatal hernia that was fixed as well. Most of my pain is under my right boob. Very painful contractions there. I'm walking quite a bit and I was able to drink 2 crystal lites and 1 protein drink today. I was 228 when I first started my journey and weighed in at 216 yesterday prior to surgery. I can't wait to get started on my program. Good luck to all you guys that are still waiting it's not so bad. Walk, Walk, Walk...
