Littlemiss, everything went well. I haven't had too many problems. My blood sugar levels have been really good over the past few days & I'm not even on meds...yay!

I have had a few complications, but nothing to worry about too much...

My potassium levels were down & my white blood cells count was/is elevated. They gave me meds for the potassium issue, but they haven't done much for the white blood cell problem.

Also, my blood levels dropped this morning but I'm anemic...so that's not uncommon. Anyway, I'm doing great! The only physical pain that I feel is coming from the incision with the drain. I will feel much better when that is removed.

All in all, I can't complain! The hospital staff is fabulous!!! I'm just ready to go home. I have to repeat my labs at noon, and if all is well I can go home...yay!!! Although, I am not in a rush. I want everything to be on point before I leave.

Please overlook any grammatical errors. I just took my pain medication.

Take care & thanks for checking on me.

Thanks girl! Yes, I'm definitely going to do weigh-ins. I'm not sure if I want to be a slave fo the scale though. I know me & I will become obsessed with checking my weight. I'm thinking monthly (or even bi-weekly). Now, keep in mind that I am saying that now but I probably won't be able to stay off of that scale. Lol

Lol...that's what I am going to try to avoid. I don't know if I will be successful, but I will try. Sn: I lost 10.5 lbs so far. I didn't really follow the plan for the pre-op diet; so, I'm proud of myself!

      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... :(
