I'm off to the hospital in the next hour or so--arrival time for surgery is 10 a.m.! Wish me luck--I'm so nervous I can barely see straight--I'm so eager to be on the sleeved side!

I'll try to post as soon as I'm coherent and able to check in with you guys! :wub:

It went off without a hitch--now my only issues seem to be getting all my fluids in, and finding a way to tame the terrible tummy growls/twists that happen every time I take a sip.

Other than that, I would say I'm at about 85% of my usual energy levels.

Congratulations. I'm glad to hear everything went ok. I hope my surgery goes as smooth as yours.

I am glad it went well. I am having the same troubles with my stomach. Takes me forever to get my meds in. Today I have to get 64oz in.

My postop diet is the following:

weeks 1-3 liquids(clear the first week then full the next two weeks)

week 4 pureed

week 5 soft diet

It is going ok since I don't feel hunger but I am always thirsty. I do not like Jello and the broth makes me nauseous. So I am very limited here with options. I am counting the hours until Monday when I have my postop appointment and can start full liquids.

What is your postop diet?

My surgeon had me spend the day of surgery on IV fluids only (nothing by mouth).

The next day, I was allowed Water at Breakfast, and Clear Liquids at lunch.< /p>

At dinner on day 2 I was allowed full liquids, and after breakfast on day 3 I was discharged.

I'm assigned to full liquids for the next two weeks; then I'll graduate to mushy/pureed foods.

      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.
