Post op Day 4

[jlobyxmas 38]

Feeling much better then the past few days, just tired. One question I have is that my face is all puffy and I have a blazing headache. I know I'm full of Fluid cause my weight has not gone down at all. But I'm hydrating and urinating as recommended but wonder if this is "normal", or should I call the doc? Like I said other then the headache and puffiness I feel pretty good.

Headache is normal but I didn't have the puffy face. I am only 5 weeks out everybody is different , if you are comfortable with something call your doc that what there for.Don't consume your self with the scale it will drive you nuts. I was on it twice a day for 5 days until I told myself once week.

Good luck on your journey this is on of the best decisions I ever made , my only regret is I should of done it 5 years ago. Down 55 lbs as of today

I had a nasty headache, too. I don't know if it was caffeine withdrawal or residual anesthesia. Either way, it will pass.

The puffiness, though, that could be Water retention. Check with your doctor, to feel better.

Thanks for the insight. Swelling is down today. Headache could be a combination of caffeine, withdrawl, anethesia and allergies. It comes and goes so I'm going to mention it at my 1 week postop.
