Hey November’s! Anyone having a duodenal switch or considering it? My hiatal hernia that was repaired during surgery is back with a vengeance and, since I am down only 40 lbs, am considering the DS at the same time. Any advice? Thanks!

Wow awesome job! I feel good, but my progress is MUCH slower! Only down 45 lbs. still down 4 sizes though! What is a typical day of meals for you, if you don’t mind my asking? ???

What does everyone do when they stall?

I am def going to try the Buffalo Chicken meatballs!! Thanks! Also, How about Swedish meatballs warmed in crock pot? Easy and good.

Found it and subscribed! Congrats! You are a true inspiration!

You are my new hero!!! Wow!!!! Congrats! How long since the surgery to the pic?

Hi! I was sleeved the week after you! 22nd. I was 270 before surgery and now 251. Totally excited! BP coming down drastically, walking seems easier, clothes fit way differently. I haven’t had anything really ‘come back up’ after eating it, just some full sensations. I too am badly constipated. Doc gave me Rex for Docusate sodium, but not working great. All the best! ?

I have that taste too... don’t know what that is. My husband asked me ‘did u brush ur teeth’? ??? It doesn’t make me nauseous though. Hang in there! We are getting healthy! ??

My surgeon said to do what feels ok. If it isn’t bothering you, then it should be fine! Nothing has bothered me yet, but I have not tried soft foods yet, only purée. Might try eggs today! Feel good! ?

Central NJ- Piscataway not too far! When’s your surgery ?

Central NJ!

Hi! Is that in South Jersey?

Piscataway NJ Surgery date 11/22

Hi! I am 9 days out and have no trouble drinking or eating the mush! Lol! I think there are many who can’t get even water in, though. Do you feel hungry, though? I have, slightly and for short times, felt a little hungry. I am worried about it as well but am willing to do what it takes to get healthy. We’ve come this far! Best wishes!!!

Congrats! I am only a week out and happy to hear your story! I started ‘full liquids’ and protein yesterday- all going well. Lost 18 lbs so far but I don’t expect that fast of a loss to continue..... I can’t wait to bend and do my toes!!! Best wishes! [emoji4]

You may need to ask for other anti nausea medication. There are patches as well. Do you have trouble with other liquids or just water? Maybe go back to liquids for a bit? Best of luck! [emoji4]

Congrats! I was sleeved last week. Was told in the hospital to drink 2 -3 oz every 15 mins. Small sips Hang in there! I am down 18 lbs in a week! Very noticeable to me! [emoji4]

Did they tell u to weigh yourself daily? It fluctuates so much, I would do once or twice a week. Don’t worry! Hang in there! Drink more water! ?

Hi! My doc said I could drive as long as I don’t take pain meds. And I was sleeved 11/22! I wasnplanning I’m getting out this weekend for a bit. Doc also said I could likely expect a stall in my loss around 4-6 weeks, sounds like where you are! Keep up the good work! ?

I am one week out from surgery. Currently 255 (down 18) and my goal would be 235 for 1/10 Thanks!

Haven’t noticed it in myself, always stumble over words lol! But I have heard of this with anesthesia. Depending on your age and prior anesthesia’s, it could take a while, I believe. I, too, was in longer and quite ill. Much better too! Cheers!
