First great sleep I had after getting home, I dreamed I was sleeping with thousands of Water bottles around me. Felt like Gulliver and the little people.

Last nights dream- I was half awake b/c of a burning pain near port and I'm thinking I must be in wrong (LBT) thread. I got to find the right thread?

Who knows maybe I wasn't even in pain!?

How do I control my dreams so I might dream about George Clooney or Matthew McConnahey(sp?)

Remember to take short walks indoors if you can't walk outdoors around your house. It helps with any trapped gas in your body cavity. SIP lots of Water,ice chips and you can have a SF popsicle. Keep your meds as directed.

You will each day do better and after a week not remember all the discomfort and worries that you have taken so far.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

      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! 😞
