4 Weeks Post-Op

[JerzyGirl 25]

So I went for my 4 week post-op follow up with my doctor. I'm down 24 pounds (I guess this is good?), down an entire clothing size, and cleared for pretty much all activity now. I start back at the gym on Monday and hired a personal trainer. I'm feeling pretty good, though I do still have some discomfort on my right side. They aren't sure if it is the scar tissue and healing of the incision in the area or possibly my gaul bladder. I just have to watch it and if it persists or becomes painful, I have to be checked out. If it turns out to be my gaul bladder then they'll remove that. I knew that might be a complication but I hope it really is just the incision.

For anyone else 4 weeks or more, how did you feel at your 4 week follow up and how much weight did you lose at that point?

I am 4 weeks out and down 18 pounds from surgery day. I lost 10 on the pre op diet. Feeling great and able to do almost anything! looking forward to a little more energy. I started B12 today so hopefully that will help! I try to walk every day. I picked up some new Yoga DVD's this week for when it gets too cold out. I also have a treadmill for the winter too:)

Luckily they took out my gall bladder when they did my surgery.

Keep up the great work!!
