I am doing amazing! I am down 28lbs total 10day preop diet and 6 days post op! I feel great! Still get tired after doing too much so I can last for about 5 hours and I'm ready for a nap. But I know that will pass :) stay positive! You'll do great!

Wow 28 lbs, that's awesome doll. Keep it up! Oh I can't wait to see the scale move. Looking to shed 60lbs.

What is this swallow test that you speak of? I think I've only seen it mentioned once or twice, but have no clue what it is.

For my surgeon, the next day after surgery, hey give you a swallow or leak test. You swallow barium and they the X-ray Doctor looks to see if there is a leak, if not the you get to start your Clear Liquids.

I'm getting ready to be discharged. I had my surgery on Friday :)

Scheduled for lapband to sleeve-8/9. CW-279. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Some doctors do it while you are still under anesthesia (mine did) so some if never experience that.

      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! 😞
