I had surgery October 18, I'm in no pain tolerating liquids well!!! I'm in a little discomfort where my port is. My blood pressure is the lowest it's been in years!!! I had no nausea, I'm up walking around!!! I'm soooo glad I had this surgery. My doctor did discover I did have a hiatal hernia, which he removed!!! I can't wait to see my progress in a few months and start to exercise! !!

That's great news! Marshawn, when they repair hiatal hernias laparoscopically it is a very delicate stitch so be very careful with lifting etc for 4-6 weeks or they'll have to go back in. ( usually by a bigger incision) I had that repaired too. If you feel pain in your back that lingers that is due to the healing of the hernia repair and not just gas. Take it easy! I'm 2 weeks post op today and doing great. In the mushy phase and I get to feel hunger for the first time, dare I day, in my whole life...HA!

My nurse called to check up on me and told me to take s warm-hot wash cloth wring it out and fold it up into a square and insert it in a zip lock bag, that should ease some of my discomfort where my port is... So far it has worked!! Tomorrow I start the next phase of liquids... Where can I go find recipes that are healthy??

I am due to have surgery on the 26th. I've lost 25 pounds during the past floor months, and now my kids don't want me to have surgery. they say I can do this on my own and that surgery is cheating. They also say that out will be awful to have to live with these restrictions for the rest of my life. i'm now having doubts. Can anyone relate?

      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.

        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?
