I'm out of recovery and have been in my room for 2.5 hrs. Doing good. Some soreness but no nausea or dizziness. Actually feels better to get up and walk. Ice chips never tasted so good. Might leave tomorrow since I am doing good. Oh yeah, fhey repaired a umbilical hernia that I didn't know I had. Talk to you later when I get home. Going to take a nap.....

Well you are doing soo good..Just keep walking and sipping. Right now you need to work really hard in getting you 64 ounces of Water in. When you meet your water goal start working on you protein..

agree I tried but had to abandon the thought. Here's to our March sleevers and a big howdy to the new April crew. I was sleeved on 3/1 going back to work on Tues. No problems with getting Water or Protein in. Still get real worn out without much effort. Trying to walk 20 min a day. Have lost 15 lbs since OR.

Take care :)

Came home last evening. Pain itself from incision is minimal but the gas bubbles are killing me. I was known as "Oh, you're the one who walked all the time" to the nurses and aids at the hosptal. Napping a lot. When I sip on Water I never realized how much air I swallow. The air bubble just sits in my epigastric area and has that upward pressure. I dry heaved a couple times at home b/c of the bubble. I had a supposity the morning after surgery and it worked in about an hour....farting and some diarrhea but nothing since then, I haven't passed anything (not like there is much to pass.) Maybe if the lower end worked more, than the air bubbles would pass down instead. I know...walk, walk, walk, and more walk. Sip sip sip... I am on a clear diet today since I came earlier than expected but then Sat I start full liquids. Good luck to all the other Marcher's.

      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! 😞

      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.
