So sorry. I was sleeved the same day and went back today as well. My stomach is still a little sore and I'm kinda tired. Otherwise I think I'm ok. What kind of work do you do?

My sleeve was Apr 17 and I went back last Thursday (because I had used all my time off I had accrued). I was too soon. I made it trough the day, barely. But I haven't been back. I am determined to go back tomorrow. Desk job and great boss and coworkers. They prop me up. So, I'm going to do it!

I was sleeved April 3, and when I went back to work I felt the same thing. First of all, going back to work kicked my ass!!! Second, my muscles felt bruised and sore. I think a lot of it comes from not consuming enough food for energy and then the rapid fat loss leaves our once "really" padded muscles less padded.

As of today, I'm down 30lbs total!! Woohoo!!!!

Had my two week post op appointment last Friday. I am doing great, he told me I could go straight to solids but I'm going to wait another week or so because of the swelling I have, kinda hard to swallow solid. I'm back to walking 8 miles a day while wearing a 20 pound vest, and once a week I wear my sauna suit along with it just to sweat out any toxins that my body has in it. He also released me to go on full blown without sessions that I will be staying this week.

Also, for anyone out there that is still sore/hurting. Remember, the more you walk/move around the faster that hurt/sorness goes away. I was walking 2 miles the days after surgery

      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! 😞
