Recommended Posts

I'm about a week out (3-31-14) and pretty much feel awful most of the time. Haven't vomited (thank God) but just pain and discomfort. Going in to see the surgeon, 1 week early, tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately, I understand. But, as you'll be told, it'll get better. Hang in there.

walk as much as you can, the sooner you start walking the better you will feel. i had surgery on 3/10 at 3:00 in the afternoon. i was up walking that evening. the next day i walked ten minutes out of every hour. the more i walked the better i felt. the people i had surgery with….well on the same day….started walking with me. i would go get them out of their rooms and we would walk. we had a great support group among us. i did get sick the first night and throw up some. they gave me pain meds and something for nausea in my iv. that helped and i was able to stop vomiting. the next day i felt like a new person. although, i was sore and still am at times. would not change any of it for the world. i am happy to be on this journey with each and every one of you, i wish you all a successful, joyful journey.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
