I had mine on the 20th too. Felling better each day. My left shoulder does hurt a little. But mainly it is the incisions that hurt mostly when I amgetting up from a sitting/ lying down position. I need to go out and get my family gifts and mycar oil changed, not sure if I want to do it today or give one more day before I brave the stores since I am still uncomfortable.

Unfortunately I have not been getting my Protein since surgery. I figure that will get better when I can start full liquids and the earliest I can do that is Saturday.

Fay- make sure ur either deep breath in, cough, let it out or using an incentive spirometer- breathing device that measures how deep ur breaths are, pain in lungs can be Fluid and if ur not breathing in deep enough air can't get to the bottom of ur lungs and help move that fluid out, = penumonia, yuck! I know it hurts, hold a small pillow to ur abd and every hr 10 times breath in as deep as u can and let it out. IF it feels like a finger size space, not just hurting to breath deep, more like it hurts right there and only there you need to call ur doc NOW, could be a PE from a clot after surgery. Good luck with everything, here's to a new us!! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
