Thank y'all for the encouragement, it's so great to hear from others post-op. It did indeed go well just dealing with the pain right now but the pain pump is a huge help. Not sure if my body is just not needing or can't handle anything but haven't been able to eat more than 1 1/2 oz of shaved Popsicle. Water and ice chips are fine just nothing with any flavoring. I know that even before the surgery I had been experiences with flavored liquids tearing me up and causing dumping. How long did it take y'all to be able to eat Jello or broth or Popsicles? I can't even stand the thought of one of the shakes from the clinic.

I wasn't allowed anything but ice for two days then the 3rd Popsicle made me almost vomit! It was about a week so hang in there!!!

I am on day 4 post op and I am soo happy to say I am eating cream of wheat (loving that) and Jello and Popsicles and some of the Protein Shake frozen. I've not had any nausea but I'm still having a lot of I guess gas pain in my stomach it's self when I drink Water. Also having hunger or what feels like hunger wondering if my PPI isn't strong enough. Took Milk of Magnesia one time at doctors orders and am determined to never take that retched medicine again. Going to try light yogurt in the morning. It's so strange thinking of foods I've eaten my whole like as being "something new and exotic to try" lol.

      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
