I pray that you start feeling better soon.

I am a week out and feel pretty good.. I have very little pain around my largest incision. I normally sleep at an angle and found doing the first few days and on occasions now that I am sleeping on my back.

I have the same problem. Everything feels pretty good except for the large incision onmy left. It makes moving very painful and I have to position myself at a ridiculous angle and then stay still in order to sleep.< /p>

YEP. I slept in a chair for about 9 days. it was the most comfortable thing for me. I didn't have a recliner but I had this large leather chair and a foot rest. Good enough, so thats what I tell people to do. A recliner would have been even better though

I slept in the recliner for the first few days till i was able to sleep in bed. Now at 3 weeks out I'm sleeping on my stomach again. Been doing that for about 2 weeks now.

      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!!

      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! 😞
