Butter, you are already looking good, can't wait to see some pics when you are all healed up. My sister just had one on Tuesday, she said it wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be, hope you have a speedy recovery time.

Bean,

Hadn't talked to you in a while. I got a new job and moved to the raleigh area of NC. Congrats on the surgery!!! You looking good Brother, How long did you lay on the couch before you came up with the cat bite the drain line? was that before or after the second dose of morphine? Joking aside you look great and I am so proud of you. It sounds like recovery time is quite a bit longerr than the origional VSG surgery. I know you are missing your running. I have been running a couple of months and the spare tire bouncing is not very comfortable at all in the tshirt. Does the spanx/compression help with this? Again congrats and I'll keep in touch.

Hey. Thanks. Everything is going well. Raleigh is a beautiful area. You're lucky. I've got one drain left and the cat just won't bite it.....I wish he would. It should come out Wednesday regardless.

And yes....I ran in one of these. And while I didn't love it....it made running a heck of alot easier.

Day 16 post op.....had my follow up visit with the doc today. Everything is going well. He took out the last drain thankfully. They are pleased with how little swelling I have...so am I. It's gonna be at least 5 more weeks before I can get back to exercise....and sitting around is no doubt the hardest part. But it's all so worth it. Finally I can see the results from all the hard work I've done. It's amazing the difference in my self image...looking in the mirror and actually seeing abdominal muscles for the first time in my life is priceless.

      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! 😞
