I walked the day of my surgery. Surgery was done about 8 and my 1st walk was about 4ish? I walked several times through the night. I even had them take my cath out since I was up and walking. I truly think this helped me as I was discharged a day early. Goodluck

Hey guys! Surgery went well. Very groggy and have little to no pain just some discomfort. So far the only issue is that I can't pee. :(

try to walk and just seat on the toilet seat and just relax nothing else and you will be able to start. I had that problem after my c-section.

It took my bladder a day to wake up from anesthesia. They cathed me 2x but it wasn't too bad.

I slept on my side last night. But I had my small pillow to put over my stomach and another pillow behind me to kind of prop me up. I did fine. My left side is still a little sore where the drainage tube was at. It was the weirdest feeling when she pulled the drainage tube out.

I haven't been walking or sipping quite as much as I should be, but I'm working on it. I've had 2 bites of Jello today. I still have a little gas, but not bad at all.

Hope everyone is doing well!

      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.
