33 Years Old, Single, 4' 11.75", HW 363lbs - Everett, WA

So things are going well. I'm 3 months post op as of Tuesday. Still struggle with getting all my protein and water in but getting better. I'm down to 273lbs so 90lbs since I began and about 50 something since surgery.

So my post-op appointment went well. Incisions look great and my pain is getting much better. I was very disappointed in my weight at my appointment though. I was 326.6 when. I discharged from the hospital and at my appointment I was only 323. I feel really frustrated by this because I haven't eaten anything of substance since Sunday night and have only had water, chicken bouillon, and crystal light. I feel like I should have lost more than that. This morning on my own scale I was 319.8 but my scale always says at least 3lbs less than my surgeons scale so I guess I'm still at the same weight.

HW: 363
SW: 323
CW: 319.8
GW: 120
Lbs lost: 43.2lbs
Lbs to goal: 199.8

So my procedure went well. It got started a little late due to a surgery scheduled ahead of mine that ran longer. I guess i was very "whiny" and asking for my mom lol! Thry kept me pretty well drugged up while i was in the hospital so i didnt have a whole lot if pain. I satyed just one night and they did an imaging study where i had to drink this nasty stuff that glows to make sure all the staples were holding and not leaking. I got discharged at about 130pm Wednesday afternoo and was back in the er that evening around 8pm.

A little back story on that is this. While my mom was driving me back to our hotel traffic stopped suddenly in front of us and my mom had to hit the brakes pretty hard. This joslted me pretty good and my seat belt tightened around my abdomen. From that point on I was in a lot of pain and very nauseated to the point i was dry heaving. So mom called 911 and they took me to the er. I received a shot of dilauted (pain med) and a dose of zofran (nausea med) and within about a half hour I was feeling much better.

Since then i have made sure to take my pain meds every four hours to ensure i don't scare my mom again being in that much pain. An ambulance went by earlier today and my mom said she doesn't want to hear that sound ever again. My ordeal has given here ptsd apparently lol!

I have my follow up appointment with my surgeon tomorrow afternoon and then we should be heading home woohoo!!

So weight in check in for surgerywas 323; weight next day after surgery 326.6; they said the weight gain was most likely due to all the fluids they were pumping in to me. I'll update tomorrow with my current weight after my follow up appointment. I haven't had anything but water, crytal light, and chicken bouillon for nutrients since Sunday night!!! So i better have lost something lol!! Also I haven't been hungry AT ALL since surgery!!
