Rohler' date=' what channels did you have on the tv? Or what tv shows were you able to watch. Trying to decide if I need to try to bring something to watch.[/quote']

There was a good HBO channel and a few others u should be fine. How ever I did watch movies on the plane to pass time.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I made it home safe and sound but what a long day of travel. We left hotel at 8 am and got home at 3:00 am well 12 am if u don't count the time change. Word from the wise: even if I think u r fine and don't need a wheel chair ( which we didn't ) GET ON IF U HAVE A CONNECTING FLIGHT WITH A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME BETWEEN FLIGHTS. We only had a 50 minute layover and if not for are wheel chair that where waiting on us we would have missed r next flight. They ran us threw the airport and we made are flight by 1 minute and I'm not exaggerating. I feel really bad for the 2 wheel chair pushers that ran with me and by friends big bodies thru the airport. Lol. So now that I have been home I have been very tired and having a really hard time eating or drinking. I did manage to get down 1 Protein Shake and 24oz of Gatorade yesterday and two Protein Shakes and 8 ounces of Fluid so far today. I will get in more fluid b4 bed but I don't know how much. I am 12 pounds since pre op diet or just down 3 pounds since surgery. But I will take that.

Congrats on the loss! I'm definitely keeping wheelchairs and layovers in mind for traveling home.

Glad you made it home safe and sound. Flying home can be exhausting. And congrats on your loss, also!

If asked, would i do it again; I would do it agin in 2 seconds flat and not change a thing. I feel good. It just seems like I am focused all day on getting in all my Fluid and Protein. I'm doing pretty good with Protein Shakes. I'm getting in a minimum of 60 grams so far shooting for 74. However, I'm not getting in as much fluid. I am pushing to get in 24 oz a day. I got in 42 oz today but boy it was a struggle. I'm never hungry and can't tell when I'm full. VERY WEIRD!! It hurts my stomach a little to eat and it helps when I stand up to eat. Cream Soups seem to be the easiest to get down but everyday gets better and better.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
