My second night home after having surgery on Friday and I hate my couch already. Getting out of my bed was painful yesterday so I'm hoping sleeping on my bed won't be as painful tonight. I guess we will see in the morning.

Congratulations to you! The first week was very painful for me. No position really helped either. But after that first week everything got so much better each day....

I am 7 days post-op and I've been sleeping in my recliner all week. I can't get out of my bed without help. I made the mistake of laying on the bed today when no one was home it took me 30 minutes to wiggle my way to the edge and get up. Sadly my cell phone was across the room.

I've found that laying on my right side is doable. I have one blanket kinda under my stomach to keep it from pulling on my left side. But I have a feeling that my right hip will be complaining in the morning. I guess we will see how it goes. I thought I wouldn't have a problem on my recliner since I slept in it for two weeks after I had my c section but what a difference 6 years make.

      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.

      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! 😞
