    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! 😞

      I mean recovery is different for everyone. My recovery from the modified duodenal switch had a lot of pain, nausea and dehydration. Just as I was getting over that, I had my gallbladder removed and I am constantly in the bathroom and my hair is coming out in clumps. But I'm a weird case I'm sure..

    If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Papaya enzyme? I've never heard of that, where did you buy it? I guess it's like a vitamin?

    How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

      I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

    I'm about 2 months post op and still trying to figuring out what my body/stomach cues are and what they mean. Also I know breakouts are pretty common, but what about random, small, red patches that are itchy and resemble bug bites? Or am I alone on that?

      Thank you! I've been putting off going to see a dermatologist but it seems unavoidable now. I definitely didn't expect that my skin would be one of the first and noticeable things to change after surgery.

    Hello my name is Kee-Kee I'm new to the group, I'm almost a month post-opt. My biggest struggle now is eating to same thing over and over again.

      Omg same! I feel like I deal with cravings more now than I did prior to surgery. I'm about 2 months post op and couldn't handle much food due to nausea and pain for about 6 weeks. You should see the amount of greek yogurt there is in my fridge..
