Thanks to both of you!! So glad I found this forum to learn the ins and outs and for the support.

By now you've learned that all we do is poop the first two weeks after that we can't poop any more without assistance,:)

The first weeks we question things like "did they take out enough of my stomach, cause I'm still hungry" :)

We all look for ways to get "permission" to eat things we can't. And when we don't do it we judge other people because we are hungry :)

Oh and about four weeks out we get grumpy.

And some of us run around here causing all sorts of trouble! :)

But we all want to succeed and we want others to succeed !!!

I wanted to be a hero and leave the hospital 1 day early.. But I stayed both days.. It's major surgery!! I guess I thought just because its laparoscopic it wouldn't be so bad! Morphine was my friend:)

in the hospital walk,walk, walk,

I didn't want to but it does help with the pain.

It wasn't pretty and I had a few moments like "what the hell did you get yourself into this time Laura?" But if I made it, so can 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! 😞
