I had my sleeve on 1/28 but I feel huge even though I lost 25lbs before the surgery, is this normal, or is it in my head? I feel like I am as big as I was before I started my pre-op diet.....

Normal!! IV fluids will do that plus the swelling!

My belly looked like a bloated "frankenbelly" for weeks :P

at this point for me, less worry, no pain, I am a very comfortable fatman.

It seems you'll be peeing your troubles away for a while into the future.

Very normal. I had to stay an exrtra day and got even more fluids and meds. I thought I was going to pop. It will take a little bit to get the gas and extra fluids out. Your gut will sound like a HE washing machine for a long while. But it's all good and normal. Congratulations! Good luck to you!

      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! 😞
