Good evening fellow Bandsters! Gee, it feels good to say that! This is the first time I can post in the POST-OP section, yay :) I had my surgery this morning. Everything went great, with the exception of the fact that EVERYTIME I have anesthesia, I can't potty. So tonight I'm walking around with a cathater bag (super sexy, i might add) LOL!

Physically I feel pretty good. I've had a couple waves of nausea, but I have meds for that and they've passed pretty quickly. My abdomen is a little sore, almost like the way u feel after a kick butt ab workout. I was up and around pretty quickly after surgery, and for the most part I'm doing very well!

I look forward to sharing this journey together!

I'm peeing fine. Just not the other. Sorry to be graphic. Then I'm thinking I haven't had solid food for a few days but you would think something.

Karma-I haven't gone #2 since last Tues! My doc said to grab an over the counter stool softener, like Colace. I got that and took one last night, so we'll see...hahaha. I'm actually not too alarmed by it. liquid in, liquid out, huh?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
