That's awesome! I am 10 days post op! First 4 days were the hardest, i kept thinking why did i do this to myself? What was I thinking??? I took no pain meds after 2:00 pm on the day of my surgery, once I was awake to tell my nurses to stop pushing it!!! Had nausea for first 4 days, but had meds that took it away!! No gas pains as I was up and walking a.s.a.p. ice chips and Water are all I really drank in the hospital, a little Decaf tea! I have lost 25 pounds!! 9 pre-op on my 6 day liquid diet and 19 post op! So I'm super excited about the results so far from 250 down to 225! Yay!

I just didn't need it the pain was tolerable and I usually get a lot of nausea with pain meds, so I would rather be a little uncomfortable than nausea's.

I had surgery on Monday and when I stepped on my home scale this morning I was up 6 pounds . I haven't eaten much at all ! I hope it is just Water retention from the IV drip and I will wake up tomorrow and it will be back down!!

[NoOrganicForMe 40]

My surgery was on the 25th also, first day back home today. I am up 5 pounds. I think it is the IVs.

[Irene1970 8]

Yes ladies its the Iv fluids. I was the same for about 2 or 3 days. Hang in there.

How long did y'all wait before going back to work?

[Irene1970 8]

I really thought I would go back in less than a week but no you need atleast a good full week to 2 weeks. I go back to work monday and next wednesday would be 2 weeks from my surgery. You need time to heal and regroup and learn the drinks and your intake, because its truly a Huge life change.

I also have two weeks off.. Go back next Tuesday and still am moving slow and can't bend over very well without getting a sharp pain in my lower left side just above my bellybutton. So I'm nervous that I didn't take enough time off. Plus I am tired a the time.

[Irene1970 8]

I'm the same way I've upped my Protein Shakes and don't forget to take your multi Vitamin as well and it helps that tiredness. I was the same way.
