Yes. I would love to keep in touch for support' date=' to track progress and stay motivated.

I wishi could drink like you are. I'm dying. Lol. Good thing the liquid diet has prepared my body for this fast.

My port site is Extra sensitive as well. But I'm trying not to concentrate on that. Staying positive will help us heal faster ;) i hope you get comfortable and plenty of rest. :)[/quote']

Well I am very sore today! It's hard getting in and out of bed. When I stand up, I'm ok. Been sipping all day. My dr recommends 1 oz every five minutes, so my beside has coconut Water, premier Protein, almond milk, Metamucil mixed in some Water and plain water. I'm trying my best to get it all down. I get full after 2 sips!! Lol!

Think I'm gonna go for a short walk later to get this gas moving. Haven't been nauseated at all. I have 5 incisions and they're all sore, so can't say if where port is any sorer. :-/

Well happy recovery to u...

Oh why can't u drink??

I couldnt drink until I did a swallow test with radiology. I finally got in around noon. That was almost a whole day since surgery. So I have just barely started drinking. I just left the hospital today also. So it was nice to recover in there a Lil longer.

So I didn't have any gas problem's until after I started sipping my Clear Liquids this afternoon and WHOA. This gas is killer. Lol. I had a few extra sips of my broth when I got home and I think I sipped too much. Lol. I feel so full. Thats nice to know the band is working. :)

The incision sites r painful and the gas makes it that much more painful. But the loratab elixur helps with the pain. I can't wait to be back to normal. I want to start working out again. I'm trying to have my skin bounce back as much as possible but I think I will still need a Tummy Tuck when I reach my goal weight which is 100 lbs from what I am now.

In bed at home now resting while I can smell my husbands and kids yummie dinner. PIZZA!!! Lol. No fair. My sister says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"but after smelling all this food I'm not so sure about that. Ha ha. Jk.

Thanks for the liquid ideas. I have just been doing water and broth. I need to add some variety to my regime. Especially the Fiber drink. Hope that gas subsides soon. Let me know how you feel tomorrow. Hopefully better then today.

      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.

      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! 😞
