2 Days Post Op, 5 Days Pre-Op 18 Pounds Down...

[**IP~LB** 279]

Hey Guys,

I am 2 days post op. I did a 5 day pre-op. I went into surgery at 9 and came out of room at 10:30 home by 11.

I have a little tightness while drinking clear fluids and my broth. I am assuming it is because I am still swollen. Did anyone have this and if so how long did it take for the tightness to go away. It only last a few seconds....but its different.

I have been getting up walking around, it just feels like i did 7,000 sit ups. I don't even want to eat, lol never thought I would say that. Today I start liquid Soups and puddings.

I weighed myself this morning and couldn't believe my eyes. 18 pounds in a week. Needless to say I am pretty excited.

Thank you everyone for all your posts and knowledge I have learned.

Also can someone tell me how to attach my tickers and how to update it?

Thank you!!

I am right there with you. 2 days post op. Felt like I had been hit by a bus at first. Getting better now. Feeling the same but managing to get in a little more liquid everyday Have not checked my weight yet, but lost 9 lbs on pre op diet.

I am two days post op also. I believe that it is a stomach spasm. I get tight for a few seconds then get better. Just part of process I guess. How's the pain? I am better today first day I was on the Tylenol 3 every4 hours.

I too am on my 2nd day post op. I had a hiatle hernia repaired as well. I feel like I fell.off a building. Pain in shoulders and back and sipping Water as much as possible. I am doing broth and Jello. But I must confess tonight I am hungry. Thinking of what other Soups I can move to...any thoughts?
