I made it through surgery today! Keeping up w pain w pain pump meds through iv. Took first walk at 5:30 tonight wasn't bad. Will be walking every 4 hours, they will wake me up in middle of night to walk. Ice chips one medicine cup every hour. Tomorrow will do 4 an hour of medicine cups of Clear Liquids.

They found 2 hernias fixed the hital hernia but left other one. Fixing the hital hernia might make it hard to get liquids down tomorrow the Dr said. Other hernia will be fixed later down the road dr said.

Keep up doing such a great job! Ice chips were my friend and the only thing I really wanted - the hospital kept bringing Jello and broth. If you get a chance, ask for an ice back to lay on your stomach. It really helped me and I think it helped to keep the swelling down.

Congratulations! I hope you start to feel better real soon. I have to have a hiatal hernia repair also, so I have some questions for you when you start to feel better.

Welcome to the loser's bench!!!!!! I also had a hiatal hernia repaired... but I didn't know about it until my follow-up a week later. I have no idea whether it impacted my pain levels or my progression with liquids. Good luck and I'm happy to hear that you are doing well!

      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?

      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... :(
