I'm so sorry to hear that. That is unfortunate. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

Hi

I think i am the opposite. I think my pouch is too big. i am 16 days post op. I can drink a big glass of milk in 5 minutes and not feel full. Any food I eat stays with me 15 minutes and then hunger pains come again. i had bad bleeding post op. There should have been none with plication surgery. i was supposed to be full after 2 or 3 bites as per what the doctor said but this is so not true. I have hunger pains all the time. The xray of the stomach showed it 3/4 full when i took about 1 oz of the barium so what is happening here? They said you will not feel hungry after this surgery but that too is so not true.

Thanks

Kacee, I am so sorry you are not feeling well......

Are you taking acid reducer pills? Nexium, prevacid, something like that. I find that most of the time what I think is hunger pains is actually acid....I take a Prevacid at night...and it has helped with the hunger thing...

I also can drink water/shakes/etc and not feel restriction...or full....once you start eating solid or soft foods you will find you will get full...you will know when you eat too much....or at least that's the way it is for me....I have never thrown up due to over eating, but have eaten that one extra bite that makes it so super uncomfortable....

I hope you feel better soon.....

      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... :(
