Hey Susan...thanks for checking!! It went really well. He had to repair a small hernia, so I'm still a little sore. And the gas pain was REALLY bad on Wednesday, but walking and simethicone helped. It finally went totally away today. But I drove for the first time today and that helped with the cabin fever a lot. But over all, feeling pretty good. All pre-op freak-out fears have abated lol.

Excellent, glad to hear it! I am on day 3 now, not feeling too bad. The first day was def the worst, but it really improved hour by hour. My biggest problem is the gas. Still feeling it a bit. So exciting to be on the other side now, isn't it? A whole new world is ahead of us. Best of luck!

Hey you guys! I had my surgery Friday! I am now 4 days post op. I'm feeling good other than a burning sensation whenever I drink anything. I just took my first dose of Prilosec so I'm hoping that will help. Still sore but atleast I'm able to sleep on my side. I have found that most of my hunger is "head hunger" I'm learning to work on that. I am looking forward to the full liquid diet I start on Friday just for a change in flavor. This clear liquid stinks haha but so worth it!

Been mushing everything and have had some chicken, ground beef, and pork in small amounts and chewed to a mush. I love my sleeve. I do not feel like i am misding anything except a margarita...lol

I've been on full liquids since the day after surgery, and am also dealing with head hunger. I feel like I could take someone out for a patty melt!!! I also don't really feel full - just stop after the required amount because I don't want to get to that "overfull" feeling. I go for my post-op dr's appointment on Thursday.

      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! 😞
