Scans are all clear. Just inflammation around old port area which isnt where my pain even is. They think it must be a muscle pull or something. They're going to give me Rx for liquid pain & an inflammatory med. Dr. Garcia in MX told me I could take Motrin....i had read we shouldnt take NSAIDS...hmmm. Pb is low 110/54 which keeps changing. Now waiting to see if the unhelpful baratric drs that I saw a few times before will see me in their office to f/u. I doubt they even will & I dont want to go bc of the way they treated me before. Good grief! Glad the tests didnt show anything but frustrating bc I dont know how to get rid of it. I cant even sleep at all! A constant pain that never subsides. This sucks.

Sarah, I'm thankful you are okay.

I am from Prairieville, Louisiana, which is very close to Hammond. I spent a summer week portaging canoes around the Finger Lakes when I was 20!

Happy Easter, y'all!

I too am not to drink milk for 10 days since I had an intolerance to it my very first shake I made. My dr said I hv to build my flora back up so im taking 2 probiotic balls 2x a day. And I LOVE MILK! Booo...it may not be permanent so I am praying to 'get milk' again!

I was not allowed to touch milk for first two weeks. Now I can, and thankfully doing good.

I'll be 3 weeks on Wed too but I'm having to make myself eat. Nothing seems appetizing to me at all but cottage cheese right now so that is what I'll be eating. My taste buds have def changed! Remember everyone is going to be different :) To me it would seem like your metabolism would increase if u ate every 3hrs so it could be a good thing. I try to drink Water when I start to have any sort of feeling that may resemble hunger but it's been only minimal.

Stalls are very normal. I stopped losing weight after my one week post op check... I was stalled for 2 weeks. Then It started moving again. I am 4 weeks out today. At one wee was down 14... nothing at two or three then from three to 4 I lost 6 so I am now at 20 down. It will come. Tour body is just adjusting and going into starvation mode. It will come around. Just stay on track

      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.

        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... :(
