Checking in again to see if anyone has heard anything. I wonder if she took a laptop with her? If not, it may be a few days before we hear how she is doing.

Hopefully we'll hear something from someone today - I don't think she was the only one going to be down there for surgery - so hopefully someone else who is down there and on the site will let us know something soon.

Wondering about BobBay too - his surgery was Monday --

Hey Everyone! My surgery went great. Still sore and am having trouble getting in all the Protein and fluids I'm required to have, but otherwise good. I never thought that I would struggle getting enough nourishment. My whole life, I easily got more "nourishment" than I needed - hence my weight problem. Several of you talked about what a chore it was at first to get enough protein everyday. I could not comprehend it. Well, I do now. Sipping anything (protein, Water, broth, etc) is work. I just don't want it. I am sure that as my stomach heals it will get much better, but for now I will begrudgingly sip, sip, sip.

I am so glad to hear everything went great for you. I swear those first couple weeks of sipping is the worst, but rest assured it does get better.

Hey SoCal ! Thanks for checking in on me. I'm a little stronger each day. I just woke up from a long nap. Still having trouble getting in my fluids. I have already gotten 75% of my daily Protein requirement - so much better there. I went for a walk around the block this morning - made pretty good time. All in all, not a bad day.

      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! 😞
