Hey octsleevers' date=' my 8 day post op. Still gassy, some pain, low energy, going slow slow slow for intake. Guess broken leg may have some impact on my recovery :)

Glad to hear we are all progressing in diff stitches. My daughter mass me laugh so hard this afternoon I was afraid I was going to pop open my staples[/quote']

Just take it easy! You don't want to bust out the stitches from laughing so hard! Lol! It's nothing wrong with having a sence of humor. It may take longer for your recovery but you will be happier all the same.

Hi all. I'm 8 days Post Op. I can't believe its been just over a week already. I am now feeling great. I had a few extra days hospital stay due to the swelling in my stomach and nausea. I've been home since Friday. I have close to no pain ( when I first got home it felt like I did too many situps) I can't believe that I had zero gas pains! When I had my c-section, the gas pains were horrible!. I have moved onto the puree stage and it is not bad at all. Just take the bites and sips slow. I lost 20 lbs. in the month before the surgery and 17 lbs since the surgery! I'm here if you have any questions or anything.

I completed pre admission testing and final meeting with NUT today. My doctor says no straw, I will go home with a drain, leaving the hospital on full liquids after a three day stay. Do not have to do a pre op diet, just Clear Liquids day before. Have to practice building lungs at home with a spirometer, and on morning of surgery bathe or shower and then wipe your stomach with antiseptic wipes twice (he provided packages of these). I will take lovanox shots because I had blood clots previously and take Coumadin. Can't wait for Oct. 22.

      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! 😞
