Finally on the post op side



Recommended Posts

Haven't really been posting much, but just wanted everyone to know I'm finally on the other side. Banded 4/26, so 9 days post op. I feel fantastic! One day of pain Meds, and no gas pains! I feel lucky lol

I'm currently on soft foods and everything is going amazingly. The first day I scolded myself for doing this to myself lol but as I got better I knew this was the right choice! Can't wait till I'm able to get some jogging in and lift things, post op appt is on the 17 of May..

sure that would be cool. whats ur email? I could have went back to work but my surgeon doesnt recommend anything less then the 2 weeks but I have been fine only the first few days but after no problems. Weight not moving though and I am walking, but losing inches I guess since I can fit stuff. I am going to the dollar store buy a measurement tape since the scale has stopped moving. Keep me posted on how you are doing

      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! 😞
