Still at hospital, low grade fever last night. Zofran has helped manage the nausea, norco for pain. Tastes bad. The worst is the every 8 hour heparin shots to keep from getting blood clots. Feels like they are injecting my arm with fire ants.

Over all pain is getting better, body has released some of the air they inflate you with. Still hurts when I drink. Going very slowly. Still in the wtf did I do this for stage.

They have me measure out my fluids in little 2tbs cups, looks like I'm going rounds of shots, except the have me sip on one wait 15mins and then do the next

My fiancé visited last night after work and brought me flowers and a favorite board game. I was so sick and so much pain I just slept, felt awful he drove all the way to see me and all I did was sleep

I know the feeling hun my surgery is scheduled Monday too and I have two kids.. he wasn't "killing you off" just trying to comfort you.. it just didn't come out as hoped unfortunately remember he's vine of the reasons you have decided to do this.. and God willing, will bring just the opposite result..because of this surgery our biggest hope is to be there ever longer right along side of our little ones and keeps with them. So just give him a big hug and thank God you have such a wonderful reason to fight for a healthier you!

Well came home Wednesday around 4pm. I'm still wicked sore, extreme pain on my right side. Can not wait for it to go away, sons excited to have me home but bummed he can't curl up in my lap.

sleeping in recliner, figured it was easier than rolling in and out of bed. Down side is our giant cat who missed me too wanting to lay on me.

How's everyone doing? Still in pain? I have another jello/Popsicle clear Fluid day then can progress to fill liquid diet. I'm starving, can not wait to eat yogurt!

      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! 😞
