Default One Week Out How I feel

Hi guys this I spose is my official I am back thread. Its been exactly a week today since I had my RnyGBP.This is my fourth day back from hospital. I had no complications and a very uneventfull stay in hospital ( very gratefull about that one ) . I have had no pain to speak of and although my surgery was very long ( 5 hours lap) I was refusing pain meds the day after. I dont think I am blessed with a particulary high pain threshold I really think I lucked it with my surgeon I dont have a single mark or bruise or anything at all to even prove I was in hospital , except seven small marks of entry with mediplast over them.Oh I nearly forgot I did lose some wieght ...
Over the past 7 days I have lost 17 pounds ..
So how do I feel? Great!!!!

EDIT I wrote 37 instead of 17 there opps

Big congrats the -17 pounds gone forever. Can you see a difference yet? For me I could tell in my face right away.

I'm so glad your experience so far is a good one, mine too! I've lost 25 lbs, but don't see a huge difference yet!

everyone says I look better and I feel good , I really cant see it myself though. I have lost two clothes sizes though , I am going through my wardrobe doing a " reunion tour" with some of my old but rarely worn clothes. I got so big so fast that Sue (wife) couldnt keep the clothes up to me...I hope it goes off as fast lol
Thanks for the possitive comments guys
