Hi there. I am in almost the same boat - one week out from my DS today, and down 11 lbs since surgery. Sorry you've been dealing with the additional soreness, but congrats on your success so far!
Gratz Wannakee and Pacifica on the beginning of your new lives!! It's so exciting to think of where you'll be a year from now...isn't it? Keep pumping those fluids and walking a lot!
