I'm having some issues with drain site and a fever so eating is becoming a chore. I don't enjoy it at all right now. And my meds make me sleep a lot so my Fluid intake is low. But I can honestly say I've been worse. I may go to the ER tomorrow for fluids and to have my drain site cultured again. A birthday present to myself haha.

Well Happy Birthday...next birthday you will need to Celebrate twice to make up for this birthday!!

Those meds dehydrate you too so going in for a birthday bag of fluids is a wise decision.

Demand for them to give you some versed (sp?) in your iv for your birthday lol my anesthesiologist told me its like the fun of 10 margaritas without the calories or hangover.

I hope the culture comes back ok!

Youre in my thoughts <3

I just wanted to come give a little update - it has been almost a year since my leak healed. I am loving my sleeve. I am at my goal weight for about 4 months now, continuing to lose a little here and there. I thankfully haven't had any more problems since it healed. Miraculously my sleeve works just perfect since it healed - no problem with Vitamins, Protein, anything. It was a real struggle going through the whole ordeal but I am so thankful for my health today, 130 lbs lighter and so much energy. I feel wonderful.

That's great news! I sometimes feel a little guilty over how easy this has been for me, while others have suffered... I just wish all the sufferers a quick and complete recovery!

      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.
