Just be careful because I felt lousy on day 5 and then day 6 felt like my old self. So I went out and walked my dog and went to the grocery store ad then to the mall and boy did I pay for it. I was exhausted and my incisions hurt. I then had a job interview the next day and after it I came home and slept for like 3 hours. 3 weeks later I still get tired ad sore if I do too much. Hope you don't experience this, but just wanted to let you know.

I was very compacted and constipated after surgery, actually hadn't gone in 5 days so I did Miralax and then drank a half bottle of Mag. Citrate and then stool softner and after all of that, my bowels moved and have been moving ever since. Guess it took all of that to get them started from surgery and pain meds. As far as gas I take gas x and still do. Hope this helps. good luck

yes I'm taking it easy, my mom is helping me a lot. She went to the grocery for me yesterday even though I wanted to go we both thought it would be too much on me. Thanks for letting me know of your experiences.

      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! 😞
