Thanks everyone. Wish I could say it was a breeze. I had natural childbirth and a C-section and I have to say I'd do either of those again in a heartbeat compared to this. I am so sore. Nauseous. It hurts to dry heave. Yuck. I'm barely taking in fluids and they almost kept me. Glad to be home and even though this sucks, I am sure it will be worth it.

Oh Gosh....Ive had two c-sections and told myself never again because the last one hurt so bad. Yikes! I guess this will pass just as the pain from the csections did and it will all be a distant memory and worth it in the end.

Thanks. I feel a little better in some ways. I'm having pretty bad lower abd gas pains. TMI alert... I haven't passed gas yet. I've been walking, tried pillows, and I'm out of ideas. I wish today were not Saturday so I could call my surgeons office. Grr

Just make sure if u haven't had a BM after three days u take some milk of magnesium. It will make u feel like a new person hehe. It will take several hours to work so don't double dose or u will have new issues :)

Its normal from the painkillers to get really constipated....my doc told me to take Milk of Magnesia....you will probably not be able to go number 2 for some time...but its normal so don't worry.

      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! 😞
