I was just banded this morning!!! Feeling ok so far but really sore on the upper abdomen for obvious reasons!!! Not looking forward to tomorrow since I see a lot of people saying how the pain is worse day 2! Sad!!!

I'm on liquid Percocet and its not helping with the pain too much! Oh well I know it'll all be worth it in the end and this pain will be a distant memory!!

Maddox you will be fine. Day 2 was the worst but only a few hours because I wasn't able to hit my morphine pump. If u have pain meds it's okay!!! Everyone says this but I swear every day u feel way better than the day before starting after day 3. It's incredible how much you heal like overnight! Welcome to the other side Bd just be so happy and grateful you are now able to start a happy healthier you where you can gain confidence and self esteem!! Congratulations and stay strong. You will be great!

Did they hurt pulling them off? I'm waiting for my doctor cause I'm a chicken but just curious. Also had a real bm and it wasn't painful. I took 2 stool softners around 11-12 I suggest doing that for people who r in pain. It went perfectly thank god!!

Glad it all worked out ok :)

4 did not hurt. The fifth was immediately resistant so I didn't push it and just left it on there.

Good idea but ur pic wasn't bad at all. I was bit in the face by a German Shepard at age 8 and had plastic surgery and you could see my teeth when my mouth was closed so it was bad. my mom would smear liquid Vitamin e on my face. My scars are hardly noticeable. I never had anyone notice them I had to tell them. I am hoping to one day be able to wear two piece again cause I have little stretch marks and I want to heal and cover my incision marks bet as possible. Ill be using vitamin e on my scars.

Day 6 and feeling better by the day! Staples out tomorrow! Worked yesterday, came home after 6 hours. Went in today and worked 7 hours in the office then had a dinner seminar for 3 hours. I had broth while everyone else was eating lamb chops and drinking wine! But it was fine, I was happy with my broth!!!! My back started hurting and I felt a little nausea, left the seminar early. Feeling much better lying in my bed! I hope everyone is doing well!!!!

So' date=' is Peanut Butter a liquid?[/quote']

Sadly I don't think so, but if you are craving that taste you might be able to find a Protein powder flavored with it.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
