I feel great. So far the day after was the toughest. In the hospital hit the pain pump when they ask you to get up. Bring 2 pillows also chapstick. When you home sip sip sip and concentrate on staying hydrated. It gets easier every day after surgery. The pre op diet was the worst part of the whole process for me. :-)

You know, believe it or not, I didn't have a morphine pump thingie, I was getting some good ish via IV, idk what it was but whenever I said pain, they hooked that bag up and I was out. It lasted about 4 hours at a time.

I'm hoping my recovery is that easy. I'll make a note to bring those items with me. I find out tomorrow what time I have to be there.

I'll probably be too excited to sleep the night before anyway so maybe I'll already be up

      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! 😞
