mrs.msp 3 Posted February 16, 2013 I'm so confused! Don't laugh but I honestly think the doc may have removed some other part of my body. I started feeling back to normal the day after getting home from the hospital And had no problems drinking. I have even felt hungry and wanted food. I saw my doc 7 days post and he said the stitches were healing fine and 2 weeks post op I could start on mashed potatoes etc... Now the problem is that I have only lost 10lbs since pre op diet which I started 6 days prior. Is that too little? I feel considering I'm barely eating anything, I should be losing more. Plus all the weighing scales are giving me different numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
