I had my surgery at Mi Doctor. It's a small clinic-like hospital. It's a bit dated but clean. The nurses were really nice. Waiting for and right after surgery I was in this room with other ladies and it was awkward because I had diarrhea and we all shared a bathroom. Finally they moved my husband and I to a private room. I slept a lot and when I wasn't sleeping I was walking the hallways.

Tip: there's some coconut-flavored electrolyte Water in the café on the first floor by the entrance. Buy some. It's safe for Clear liquids stage and I had my husband go to Walmart and buy a case I loved it so much. I mixed my Protein powder in it every day and drank the bottle over the day. So much tastier than a Isopure. Blech!!

      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! 😞
