Surgery was yesterday. I just got home. :-). Everything went really well! Lost 29.7 lbs on the liquid diet. My dr said had not been so faithful on the diet, he would not have been able to do the surgery as my liver was still enlarged! He had to make a couple extra cuts, I have 8. But the only pain medication I had was for the 2 hr trip home. I had to walk 20 laps (which equaled 2 miles) before I could go home. I'm also an a clear liquid diet till my follow up with him a week from today. So thankful for all of your prayers and encouragement! So glad to be on the losers bench!!

Good grief! They made you walk 2 miles before you could go home? I'd still be there (mine was on Jul 16th)! :wacko:

You didn't get any pain meds for at home? How are you doing? I'm over a week out and still taking my pain meds because my incisions still hurt. Bless you for your strength!

What was your BMI (before or at surgery time)? Where did you have your surgery done? Glad you are doing so well! My surgery is tomorrow. Eeeek.

      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! 😞
