Wow. This is something alright. Lol

Not "painful" but it's not pleasant. Pretty uncomfortable. The cotton mouth is far the worst ever.

Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers!

Thanks! The gas is intense. Haven't been able to have ice chips yet. Just had that test done to see if I have any leakage. Hopefully I can have ice chips soon.

Any tips on the gas besides burping and walking?

Again, thanks to all of you. I have such an amazing support system just on here. :)

I would sit in your bedside chair and just get up and move around the room between walks. Just the getting up and down will help too. A warm shower should help when they let you.

Oh my nurses had me brush my teeth almost immediately. That and those sponge pops dipped in Water helped -just don't suck out the water!

Its a long day but just one day! Welcome to the other side :)

Try laying on your left side. It might be uncomfortable but it works.

      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?

      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... :(
