Remember the pain on the day of surgery will be bad. I had a terrible burning sensation in my stomcach. Just remember each day gets drastically better than the last. Sounds like you are ready. Good luck!

Haha, no - simply sleep is what is in Tylenol PM but minus the Tylenol. It is not an all natural thing. I am a born insomniac but usually rely on different methods to put myself to sleep. I am hungry now though and it is so distracting that I am having a tougher time sleeping.

What I usually do - no bright lights, tv, or computer 1 hour before bed. I read myself down to sleep and can usually drift off fine. It just isn't working this week.

Good luck! IT isnt all that bad. To be honest, I am finding the hungry part now worse than any part during post-op! To deal with that...maybe a 24 hour massage therapist, personal hypnotist, male strippers...

newmom - try some liquid benadryl for a few nights -- I've never had insomnia, but I did after surgery -- the liquid benadryl really worked wonders -- I took it for 3 days only and after that was able to sleep on my own.

      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! 😞
