I was banded this morning and I'm home resting now! Feeling sore and tired but not NEARLY as bad as I thought I was going to feel! This is nothing compared to my c-sections...at least so far.

I'm a little hungry but not starving, so far so good! So happy to have made it to this point and so excited for what's to come!

I had mine done yesterday. And I thought it was much worse then I expected. But I have never had abdominal surgery before. I just told someone I don't know how women make it thru a c-section if I feel this bad after a little 2 inch cut. I still have no real appetite.

I don't have an appetite either which is awesome. My mouth is super dry so I'm just sipping on crystal light! And it will get better! The c sections were tough but seriously prepared me for this! Give it two days...every day you will move a little easier and sleep better. Good luck and keep your eye on the prize!

I had my surgery in may and it was alot worse than I expected and I've had several surgeries though none abdominal. Though I will admit tht my back was out at the time and it was hard to get around with both my new incisions and my bad back. It took me about 4 days to start feeling pretty good. No I cant tell I've had surgery.

      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... :(
