I'm taking two weeks hoping that my doctor doesn't make me take more because I work in the radiology department and I have to push stretchers

How long is everyone taking off from work? I work a desk job and am planning on going back 5 days after.

Im taking the week off from work. I don't work a desk job but my job is easy. I also go to school at night. My anatomy class is on the day I have surgery, so I will miss that one. I have another on Tuesday but I will attend that one which willl be a struggle

Anyone starting to try Protein Shakes, researching Vitamins, tasting Unjury? ? I'm February 5th so I need to start preparing!!! It's overwhelming!!

My liquid diet begins on February 4th and my surgeon suggested that I use his specially formulated brand of Meal Replacement (of course he does$$$) in all honesty they arent too expensive $29.99 per canister and they reccomend that you buy 3 to last throughout your whole liquid phase, but there is a fella from my area that i got connected with through this forum that gave me his leftovers and I am trying them out...2 shakes a day and 1 meal... They arent bad at all and it's only like 160 calories per shake! I'm pretty sure you can order them online...i will get the name when I get home

I have a desk job (6p-6a) and I will be returning after 2 weeks(taking sick time). But just a coincidence I have vacation the week after I'm released (: so it will be 3 weeks total.

      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... :(
