Congrats in getting sleeved. I ddin't post right away but I was still learning how to use a smart phone and I didn't take my laptop with me. My doctor wanted us up and walking within 4 hours getting to our our. I walked so much that evening my Iv battery drained and I was then tethered to the plug until the next morning. As for the swallowing since we had a breathing tube sometimes our throat is swollen when they remove it for a few days afterwords. Trying varying the temperature of the liquids your are drinking. I fell in love in drinking very warm chicken broth...it was like coffee to me. I never had the pain iv but I loved the Tordal they gave me for pain meds. I never took anything more than that while I was in. Welcome to the losing side of being sleeved.

thank you. i have already lost 7 pounds since my surgery! i can see it in my face the most. i love it! i havent been under 260lbs since 2002. so almost 10 years. i havent been under 220 in 14 years and under 170 in over 17 years, so those are my mini goals till i hit the big one. everytime i hit a milestone im gonna reqard myself with stuff like a new hair style, a pedi, a mani, a massage. i cant wait till i hit the first one which will be hopefully soon. that is when im getten the new hair dew.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
