Please don't be discouraged De the weight will start melting away soon.. your body has to get rid of all the IV fluids and adjust to your new pluming. I'm thrilled you are doing so well, just measure what you eat drink at least 64 ounces of liquid a day... I would put 4 - 16 ounce bottles of water in the fridge a day so I knew when I drank the last one I met my quota for the day. take it one tiny baby step at a time and call me if you need me.

I am 8 days out and had my 1st post op Dr. appt. today. I was disappointed I had not lost weight but my Dr. was not surprised. It seems that with the massive bruising and water retention I am doing well. In fact they were pleased with my recovery and lack of complications. I am not discouraged, infact I am even more excited about my new life and future!!
