Had my post-op visit, 9 days after surgery. Down 9.4 pounds. He said this is absolutely within expectation. Should be 20 - 30 lbs the first month.
I'm allowed to have a little soft food like yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. I'm getting 64+ oz and about 70 -75 g of protein a day. Not sure I have room for anything else quite yet.
Feeling GREAT. Incisions look great. I get to scrub off the itchy glue now, yay! Walking 1.5 - 2 miles a day. I get tired at the very end, but I'm feeling so good!
Next visits: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, then yearly.
WOW, I'm really "on the other side"!!!!
