I was sleeved Monday here I am wed home and so uncomfortable. I have not had pain meds since I have been home due to my sisters lack of productivity. Grrr I'm almost positive I'm not getting enough Fluid it and couldn't tell you what full feels like. My aunt (a lapbander) told me if Im not going to the bathroom on a regular basis (which I am) to drink more. I kinda just want to go back to the hospital

AWWWW....I hope you feel better! If you don't feel better soon though, you may need to go back to the hospital. In the meantime, try to get someone to go fill your pain meds!!! That might be just what u need!!! Keep us posted!!

I hope you feel better as well. Hopefully the pain will end soon and the pound shedding and energy will come!

Thanks for being real about the pain. I don't want to be surprised later.

OMG! My pain was so bad for the first week. Not at the surgery site, per se, but gas pain!! Try to get those pain meds, they will make you feel better. After the first week, I felt SO much better. As for the liquids, I carried around a little cup they gave me at the hospital (it only held an ounce) and I put a timer on my phone, every 15 minutes, I filled it up with Isopure Zero and drank an ounce. That's what I did all day. But I'm not going to lie and say that it was easy (especially that first week), but it'll definitely get better. Hang on!

      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!!

      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... :(
