Surgery 8/21



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

My name is Amy and I am 4 days post-op. I have lost 10.8 pounds since the liquid diet a week prior to my surgery. I can not wait to get the the soft food stage and actually be able to chew my food again. Good luck to you all :)

Hi Amy!

Hope you are starting to feel better! I thought that honestly around day 5/6 I was actually feeling myself again (well as much as can be expected)! Good luck on your journey and we are all right there with you! I am 10 days out and still on liquids....

I too had my surgery on the 21st! I am down 15 pounds since starting the preop diet. I am 6 days post op and woke up feeling great. I still have a little pain where my port side is but not too much. THis is the first time in a long time that I am feeling good about myself. THis was the best decision for me!

I feel the same way. As of today I'm down 14.8 pounds and feel great. I have pain where the port is also mostly if I'm bending down to pick up the kids toys, lol, and getting out of bed. Like you I'm feeling better everyday.I'm so excited to be on this journey.

      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! 😞
