5. I thought the main one would be in my belly button, but it's not. Maybe because I already have a scar there from having my gallbladder out.

Day 3 was yesterday - I was dismissed from hospital. I actually did not feel the greatest but I think I was fighting something. I had the chills and was really scared I was going to start running a fever. I slept pretty good and woke up feeling much better.

Day 4 - I'm dong great - so far I haven't had to take any nausea medicine. The only pain medication I'm taking is 1 extra strength Tylenol. My weight is same as when I went I'm for surgery. I'm eating Jello, pudding and trying to drink my crystal light. I get a very full feeling very fast. Today I will be taking it easy - not planning on going anywhere.

I hope everyone is dong good too. Would love to hear from all of you.

Blessings - Linda

I have 3 from the surgery itself... and I have 1 where they put in the pain medicine ball tubes - just a very small slit really - and then I have two marks (for lack of a better word) where they had the drainage tubes (they look like strawberries - just like I skinned my knee (or stomach in this case :-))

4 days post surgery and I do feel better today. I actually slept about 6 hours straight! Ingesting 64-ounces of fluids is quite difficult for me. I managed 42 ounces yesterday and this was tough. Focused on getting Proteins and Vitamins first then other fluids. More pain than I had anticipated, but I was comparing it to my lap band surgery 5 years ago. As for not having my Lap-Band - it is odd not feeling the port and always feeling the actual Lap-Band tight on my stomach. Anybody else have a Lap-Band / Sleeve revision? I am actually contemplating going back to work tomorrow - probably not a good idea.

      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! 😞
