All went well here... Went in at 6 am and was home by 4. The surgery went great and I'm feeling ok.. Super nausea though. Worse than the gas pains. The gas pains feel like muscle aches the day after you got done working out really hardy the nausea makes me feel awful. Any tips from the pros how long thus lasts?? Also, best of luck to all the future bandsters!!

Kristen, I was told by my doctor that they would call in a prescription for anti-nausea meds as it might rip the internal stitches if I threw up. You might ask for a few days worth.

Just got done with my pre-surgery meeting. 10am on Feb 21st I go under the knife :rolleyes: !!! Surgeon gave me a script for liquid hydrocodone & some anti-nausea suppository.

BTW - two weeks on Adkins pre-surgery diet and I have lost 12lbs.

2 more days..... And I'm getting really nervous. Very happy that I've lost 20 lbs on my pre op liquids. Surgery Thursday at 9. I can handle pain but am so afraid of being nauseas all day.

Congrats on your date. I am scheduled on the 27th my pre op appt is on the 14th. I started my liquids today and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I was surprised the Protein Shakes weren't as bad as I anticipated. My brain thinks I'm hungry but I'm really not. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time and the only emotion I am feeling at this point is excitement that its finally going to happen. Good luck and keep us posted. I could sure use a surgery buddy. Maybe we can help each other since our dates are back to back. Let the count down begin!!!

This is so normal, even my surgeon said "honey if u weren't scared, I would be worried about you" I had my surgery on Monday, I have been going through the process of getting this done for what seems like forever and having the day and it getting closer and closer I began to panic big time, so many worries about surgery, the pain, the healing process and then the journey afterwards! Just know everyone is different in all those aspects too, just have a good support system wether it be your family, significant other or best friend, even through here to help u get through the rough Patches. I had to drive an hr and a half at 4 in the morning for surgery day, wanted to jump out the car most of the way and cry the other, but I got through it and so will you! Have faith in yourself and remember this is for you!

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
