Everything you guys are experiencing is normal. If you are gasy take gas x. I gurgle constantly this will be normal. I am a full two weeks out and have been back to work for a week. The gurgling last awhile. Now about pooping Becareful u don't over eat. You will get dumping syndrome. If your on pain meds Becareful as your first poop will be awful, and when I mean awful, like you never wanna poo again. I know this is gross but it's the truth. Other then that I have lost a total of 11 lbs, in 13 days. I have been drinking all my Protein, eating yogurt, broth, Soup, instant mashed potatoes, pudding, and Jello. Grits were not good to me as the second bite made me sick. Of coarse I dont eat these thing all in a day. I have three meals a day and protein or Snacks in the middle. I eat very slow and do not finish my meals. Also work your phases as instucted. Everything your instructions say is absoulty correct. I hope this helps.

I am 3 mths out, almost. I wasn't allowed to even attempt a Protein shake till week 2. I was supposed to be focusing in staying hydrated week 1. I use 100% whey from The Vitamin Shoppe in vanilla and chocolate. They still make me feel bloaty. But they taste fine and help me get my Protein in.

      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... :(
