I'm on my way to the hospital. This morning while getting ready I thought- I can't wait to be able to tie my shoes straight on instead of on the side.

Congrats. By the way I feel the food as is going down too. And it hurts.

I agree. When I'm awake and able to get to in about 4 ounces in an hour It hurts for a few seconds on the last ounce.

Just got home. Feeling pretty good. Only a little sore at the port sites. Nothing the Tylenol with codeine can't handle. Hubby is hearing up my broth now. Been tooting and burping which feels AMAZING!

They repaired a small hernia on me too. Didn't even know I had one. I didn't start tooting until late last night. The burping felt better. I hope you feel better and get to go home soon.

One more day and I'll go in for a revision to sleeve and fix a hiatal hernia....getting the jetters. I have to be on two weeks of full liquids...what does that entail? Also I take BP meds and another med that is pretty big. What do you do..chop them up or did your doctor give you different meds? I just now thought about that.

My left side soreness went away right around 7 days. I have a JP drain in tho, so it may not actually take that long.

Ask your doctor, but I can tell you I take a pepcid daily without crushing it. It's about as big around as a wooden pencil and it's kind of thin. The doctor specifically told me to avoid capsules, but was fine with the pepcid going down whole.

Since we're discussing poo... Lol... Did anyone else notice after a week or so on the liquid pre-op that their urine had a strange smell? Idk if I'm imagining it or what...

And your breath too? And a weird taste in your mouth? It's because your body is in ketosis. Doesn't go away until after surgery. :( But at least you know your liver is shrinking! :)

I can tell u that im two.weeks out from.surgery and that taste in the mouth still.hasnt left me! No.matter how strong the toothpaste or mouth wash....

Also, the foods, liquids for now, taste nothing like they used to. I tasted some cheese off of my fav pizza and i was thoroughly disgusted. Shouldnt have tried it anyway but i spit it out and went back to my shakes lol....

      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... :(
