So I had my procedure done on the 2nd, 4days ago and I don't know how to feel. I'm trying to stay strong and positive but the pain I experience is not helping. The Protein Shake tastes disgusting and I'm already tired of broth. The only thing I look forward to is sugar free popsicles and that I can't even have as frequently. Any advice or inspirational words at this point would be very appreciated since I am feeling like a failure :-(

Hi, I was sleeved on the 3rd. I feel the same way as you, like I'm not getting everything right. But u are fine, just keep drinking and walking, and call the doc of your pain isn't manageable. Hugs to you and hope these early days pass quickly for both of us!

Im on my 6th day Post op. Guess what? I am 100% better than a few days ago when I was sooo regretting surgery. I have a place that still hurts and gets sore by the end of the day but I am sleeping, feeling pretty good now. And that's just 3 days! My diet is not they same as others. Im on cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese, creamed Soups (thank goodness for Tomato soup) Tomorrow I get to add even more soft foods. My doctor and nutritionist at St. Marks are not big on Protein Drinks at all. (liquid calories) They want you on normal food so you can learn to eat right. And St. Marks has been doing bariatric surgeries for long long time. Im already feeling better. Need to get walking more now, they push walk walk walk. I think I will be even better next week. So with all that being said, Im feeling better and feeling more normal. Missing food a lot but looking forward to every new thing I get to eat. FIrst week was mostly surgery recoop and not having ability to soothe myself with food. I have that feeling atleast once daily but it passes and will get better with better sleep and ability to eat a bigger variety of foods. Every one on here is great support, so when they say it gets better, they are totally right!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
