Surgery went perfectly fine. The pain I was having real bad last night wasn't gas pain as I thought. It's the awfull feeling from the repair of the hiatal hernia. Pain meds just barely takes the edge off it! I am getting down my first full Protein Drink. Yay! Tea seems to setting better in my stomach than plain Water. I got ZERO sleep last night. Horrible! But this afternoon, I'm feeling better and more in control. Realizing that the new way of eating and drinking begins NOW. Hope all others are doing well!

Yes, it took me an hour or so to get the whole drink down. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I haven't thrown anything up to this point! Yay!

I'm very impressed that you got the whole Protein drink down! Seems like lots of people have trouble with that. So sorry that you had a horrible night - hospitals are really not good places to rest! Are you walking okay? Do you have someone with you to help you out? Do you need anything? I'm here and willing to help if you need anything - hang in there - much better days are in the near future! So jealous and can't wait to be where you are!

How's everyone doing? I'm tired :/ Not abnormal. And I know it was major surgery. I'm tellin ya - if anyone has a hiatal hernia repaired during their surgery, it's a doozie!

I'm getting in my 64 oz fluids in. Wondering if i need more bc i am not needing to use the bathroom more than 2x a day. But this is SC sweating weather. But pre op i drank way more Water.

Tho guidelines said to "aim for at least 40 grams protein", I'm trying to keep with the 60 grams. Been able to since I came home on Friday. I decided on the Centrum silver chewables. Got my Calcium citrate. Almost gagged on one of those today! Gonna pick up the sublingual B-12 tomorrow. I wanna do all I can to protect my hair!!

That's all for now. Thanks for listening!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
