Yesterday was my big day. Hope everyone else who were on the same day are doing well. Surgery went smooth for me. Dr. said my liver was nice and small from preop liquid diet (lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks). Came out of anesthesia and wasn't in any real pain, but my throat was soooooo sore and dry and they couldn't give me anything to drink because I kept dozing off. Once

fully awake the ice chips tasted like Heaven. Not a lot of pain anywhere thanks to the pan pump, but I could not shake the nausea so they kept Me another night ( was supposed to go home the am following surgery). Finally found the combination of meds for the nausea and today am pretty darn comfortable. No trouble drinking fluids, getting up and down, walking around etc. The intense nausea from day one was pretty terrible... not gonna lie... It really Sucked! Not having much gas pain either. Husbnd brought the kids to visit today and was feeling pretty normal. Hope everyone else who had surgery yesterday and today is feeling good. Finally on to excited now that I've passed through frightened. Have had chicken broth, sf hello, sf juices and sf Popsicles and am not physically hungry. Luck and love to all you July Sleevers.

My big day is on the 17th. I keep floating back and forth between nervousness, excitement and fear. Mostly the fear is of the unknown and possible pain.

I am excited to seed the inches and pounds melt away. I am 38 and looking to enter my forties..thin & fabulous!!!

Congrats to all those who have gone before me and good luck to those coming up!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! Take it easy and the yucky stuff will pass. A fellow sleever friend had the same problem and was also told it was normal. Hang in there, my thoughts are with you!

      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.

      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! 😞
