February Surgery Buddies!



Recommended Posts

My vote’s for yes! You worked hard to get that weight off, you deserve to have the scale down to reflect that! I’m trying to not even concentrate on the scale, just on feeling better about myself and getting healthier! 😁

I had surgery last night. I also had hernia removed. A lot of pain. They are giving me Tylenol in IV not Motrin which confuses me. I’m drinking so that’s good and gonna start walking now ! I will be discharged today

Hey question for all of you? Do you count your weight loss from the surgery day weigh in? Or do you count your weight loss from your post-op high weight?
Example: Morning of surgery I weighed 222.4lbs. Day after surgery I weighed 228lbs. Today I'm down to 222.8lbs. By my tally I haven't lost at all in the first week and am actually still sitting on a +0.4lb gain. But the question is, does the high weight after surgery count? Cuz if I go by 228lbs to 222.4lbs, then I've lost 5.6lbs since surgery lol (but not really...)

I didn’t gain any post surgery. I was peeing everything out. However, I think you can count if from whenever. I start from surgery date because I didn’t gain any, but if I would have gained I would have gone off the weight I did gain. You are doing great. I feel like I am going slow. It’s getting to me. :)

I had skin glue it falls on its own. Once it gets itchy, that’s a sign of healing so don’t pick at it but about a good 3 weeks for me.
