Johanna, that is so awesome to hear. I have just over three weeks and I'm starting to get nervous. Did you stay in the recovery house? I've heard that everyone is awesome it's just crowded at times.

I actually stayed at the hotel because my husband went with me. The ladies that had surgery the same day As me stayed at the recovery house and we all went together for the leak test and they told me that they loved the house. I will be going next year for plastics after I get to my goal and I will be staying at the house. Dr Almanza is a hottie, he took his shirt off for us to see his incisions for when he had the sleeve and let me tell you we all went like WOW!!!

LOL that is hilarious. I am having an extra procedure done so they are wanting me to stay at the house the whole time since there is a nurse there 24/7. I told them that my mother would be with me and Melissa said that was fine they would have a bed for her too. So I thought that was cool. I'm so ready to go!!!! 23 days and counting.

I am having surgery the same day they pick me up from the airport. I am on a 3 day liquid diet so the last meal will be 3 days before I have surgery. I dont think you can have anything the day of surgery.

      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! 😞

      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.
