We've got find to each other . I'm in room # 302 . It's 5:00 am and I just got another shot of morphine. This gas pain is no joke! I was Dr. Ponce's first surgery at INT at about 10:30. Waking up was horrible. I cried and cried and cried. The gas pain really bad. But then later I walked and walked and walked. We you're up, come by my room during your walk if you feel like it. If I'm passed out from the meds just wake me up.

Awwweee... sorry you had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. I hear so many people come out of it with no problem but for me, when I had my gallbladder out, coming out of anesthesia was one of the worst experiences of my life. I just remember feeling so much pain and thinking in a very real and literal way that Hulk Hogan, yes Hulk Hogan was slamming me into the ground over and over again. The nurse said it took her for ever to get me to utter something coherent.... I just kept crying and asking "WHY would ANYONE do this on purpose?".... now here I am again preparing to go under anesthesia..... on purpose. Yep, I want this BAD!

Hope you are both happily recovering!

Just got more meds. Counting the minutes until they allow my first ice chips. Still having gas pains and just generally sore but doing fine. I met petraluxor. She is doing ok but having some nauseau and gas pains. Imbthankful for only very little nauseau so far. I'll be soooo glad to go home. Everyone here is nice... But I miss my hubby and my kids really bad!

Hi guys. Okay, I hate to admit it but this is sucking royally. Oh my gosh. Charissa has little nausea but mine seems to be increasing all the time. And I am fairly certain that one of the meds I've been given is making me sick also. I vomited a little shortly after getting meds both yesterday and today. Doctor isn't sure which med so he's going to try changing my antibiotic. Everyone kept saying the day after surgery is sooooo much better but that is far from what I am experiencing. I'm almost starting to regret moving here because I'm not getting any better at all. I can't burp at all. In lots of pain, not just discomfort but pain. I'm sorry this post is such a bummer. I've been reading all these pofrom Dr. Ponce's patients that sounded like people felt better the second day. It has been nice to meet Charissa, though. Hi Charissa. I wish I had your recovery. :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
