Hello, first off everyone is different and lose weight in different amounts, some folks lose more in the first 2 weeks, some lose less. . . you'll see at your first doctors visit. Is it painful? Well again, every body is different. . if you can tolerate pain or not is the question. . .for example I was up and walking those hallways 6 hours after the surgery, yeah i felt like a bus hit me, but i also knew that if i don't get my fat butt out of that bed i'd feel much much worse. . . so walking is very important early in. . .and take your pain meds. . . don't be a hero that way. . . i took it really easy, i don't like my job much , so i took 2 1/2 weeks to recoup. . . it was really really nice to have done that. . . plus by then you've lost some weight and your co workers actually notice! but seriously now, make sure you get up and walk after surgery, helps with gas pains and the healing process. . . also sip sip sip. . . you won't feel like it, but DO IT! you'll feel much better. . . good luck and your going to do great! Your on your way to thinness! YIPPEEEEEEE

Sorry that made me giggle :)

As for pain, I would say uncomfortable is more of the word most use. It is just an odd feeling of gasy bloatedness.

      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! 😞
