My surgery is just nine days away. I've been buying my Protein and Vitamins online. Besides my CPAP machine, I haven't really thought of what else to pack for the hospital. Suggestions? Also, there is going to be a birthday party at my house on the 19th, 3 days after my surgery. I'm trying to decide if I should just hide out in my bedroom or stay at a friends house that day. I have no idea how I'll be feeling 3 days post op??

3 days post op I was feeling very good 4 days out I feel great. But we are all different.

Good luck to you On day four I cleaned the house, went shopping, went to the gym, and then to the

Vitamin store and home to play with my doggies. and I have been up 14 hours so far.

Feeling great still after a busy day

Hi beach lover. We are traveling to Florida, my homeland, a month after my surgery. We are doing Disney World and Clearwater Beach. What they worry about is blood clots when flying. I have a shot for blood clots, so maybe ask for that to be on the safe side. Honestly, most people get their surgery done in Mexico and fly home 4 days later. So it is a hard decision!

If you are anything like me, you will be so pumped up before surgery you won't get a chance to be tired. Then you will have plenty of time to sleep post op.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
