One week Post Op! Me?
Its exactly one week post op. My surgery day and few days there after were honestly hell on earth. I definitely under estimated that LOL! I large part of my problem was some major breathing complications which resulted in me staying in the hospital a total of 5 days. I didn't mind at all though, infact I am very greatful to have stayed longer and be able to get everything under control before coming home.

I am having a very hard time drinking water. I love water, but now it hurts my belly to drink it. I have tried all sorts of temperatures but still, no luck. Food, well thats another story. I see the pizza commercials and think how I would love to have that but when I go down to eat anything I have no desire to eat anything. Not one thing. Even if that pizza was in front of me, I really think I would not want to really eat that either. I think it will pass though.

The Weight Breakdown:

261 the week of surgery
253 the day of surgery
239 one week post op! OMG, is right!

Feeling better each day and may even try to do a movie tonight!

Hey Lyns-
It only gets better!
I remember that lack of desire to eat - use it now, while you have it - to learn "hunger" and "not hunger" because eventually - maybe sooner, maybe later - appetite returns. I now know - for the first time in my liife, I think - what the difference is.
I did have a period of time when I dispaired over my loss of appetite, because I was constantly repulsed by food I previously loved. I really missed the pleasure (of eating) I thought would never return. I now can enjoy food again, including much of the food I previously loved. It took a while, and I have more discriminating taste buds now.
So hang in there - hold on for the ride of your life!
