My first few days were no picnic either. But, the good news is that it really does get better each day. You should be turning the corner any day now!

I wouldn't have used the word "uncomfortable" for the first few days. The word was "hurt." Not everybody flies through the recovery or doesn't need the pain meds. I used them solidly for the first 3 days and then every time I got in a car because the bumps HURT!

Some sage advice I have often heard here applies for at least the first two weeks:

NEVER TRUST A FART!

I had my surgery November 17th, and I agree. It was a lot worse than I ever expected. I had so much pain for a little over a week. I feel great now, all except I have NO energy what so ever, just a simple shower and get ready weears me out. I here this happens, and hopefully soon I will get some energy back. Good Luck...

I didn't come up with that warning. I read it on here - a couple days too late for me, unfortunately! ohmy.gif

For the gas and farts, my surgeon prescribed "Powdered Nexium." You mix it with a Tablespoon of Water and drink it down, it tastes orangey. Helps a LOT.

Good luck with the pain! Call your doctor and ask for PAIN KILLERS.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
