Default Had my surgery on april 21st

I had my surgery on april 21st, and everything went well. I have lost 44lbs so far. I miss food, but i am not ever hungry. I did go to the er one time. I got a little scared. I had my surgery on a monday, i went home that wednesday. thurs i went to the bathroom and there was a lot of black looking blood. I went straight to the er. They did a scan on me and found no internal bleeding. They kept me over night and kept checking my blood level. It ended up being old blood from the surgery. It just took a couple of days to work its way out. Since then so far so good.

That would scare the hell out of me too. I had mine on March 21st, and have lost 45 so far so sounds like your way ahead of me, or just had a lot of water weight :-). Either way that sounds awesome. Glad everything is working out well.

Congrats on the weight loss so far. I would have been scared if that happened to me too, but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious!

Way to go Robert. Sounds like you are doing well after the minor scare. Keep kicking ass with weight loss. I am always so envious of how quickly it drops off the men.
