Hi everyone! Well, I survived. I had surgery on Friday, 11/16. I ended up having to spend the night in the hospital because they removed my gallbladder at the same time. I came home yesterday, and am doing well. I do not have an appetite at all, I'm sure it's surgery related and not band related. I drank a Protein shake this morning (it took about 2 hours), so I was pretty proud of myself. Since then though, it's been sips of broth and Water. I am on a clear liquid diet minus the shake until Friday, when I'll be moved to full liquids. Aside from the gas pains, though, I've done well! Even went to wal-mart today with the hubby to walk.

Hope everyone is doing well! Talk again soon!

Welcome and congrats! I'm a few weeks ahead of you (10/5). Advise: follow the rules to a T. You are about to have a few weeks of challenges so just hang in there and don't doubt yourself!

Gas pain is absolutely the worse part! Hugs!

      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! 😞
