15 day postop update: FEELING GREAT AND RETURNING TO WORK ON JULY 31ST. 19-20 LBS DOWN SINCE SURGERY. LEARNING HOW TO EAT AND HOW MUCH TO EAT. HAD ONE BAD EPISODE OF SEVERE PAIN AND NAUSEA WITH VOMITING AFTER EATING SOME GRILLED STEAK. ATE ONLY ABOUT 5 VERY SMALL BITES. I HAVE SINCE HEARD, PEOPLE SOMETIMES CANNOT TOLERATE BEEF THIS SOON POSTOP. THE SCALES HAVE NOT MOVED MUCH THE LAST WEEK OR SO. I GUESS THIS IS THE FIRST PLATEAU OF MANY I WILL HAVE. MY CLOTHES ARE BECOMING BAGGIER AND THAT IS A GOOD THING. MY INCISION IS STARTING TO LOOK BETTER. SAW DR MC CARTY ON WEDNESDAY AND HE SAID IT LOOKED LIKE SUPERFICIAL CELLULITIS NEAR THE INCISION AND STARTED ME ON AN ANTIBIOTIC. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOU WELL WISHES AND WORDS OF SUPPORT.

2ND NIGHT HOME POSTOP AND AM FEELING BETTER EVERY HOUR. WAS PRETTY SORE AND STIFF IN THE ABDOMEN THE FIRST DAY BUT THAT IS GETTING BETTER. LAST NIGHT WAS THE FIRST NIGHT I SLEPT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT!! I KNOW IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BUT I WEIGHED THIS MORNING AND HAVE LOST 14 POUNDS, INCLUDING THE 5 I GAINED IN THE HOSPITAL. THIS IS GREAT. WEIGHT LOSS WITHOUT THE FEELING OF DEPRIVATION.

Good luck Michael! Dr. McCarty is an awesome surgeon (I had my surgery with him on April 5), and so you are in very good hands. You will come through this with flying colors. Best wishes!
