O.k. ladies and gentleman I had my surgery on 21 Jan in Weiden Germany. I was in the hospital for four days. I think that was the worst part for me. I got a liter of Water in me the day after and have increased the intake everyday since. I got to eat my first "meal" day three. I had to force myself to eat and I'm still doing that. I'm getting 4 to 6 ounces of Protein Shake down at a time and not finding a "full" feeling, so I'm a little worried about that, time will tell. I read a post somewhere here about burping indicating you're full, so I'm using this as a guide. As far as pain I tolerate a great deal, so I would say I feel something uncomfortable and annoying. I did get my period on day 3 even though i had it a week prior, so i do have cramps. I also have gas and will trying the gas x strips as suggested, but everyone is right walking does help with that and highly suggest it! To all getting ready to have surgery GOOD LUCK! You have nothing to worry about.

You are still healing and your nerves are not 'working' yet. You both sound like you are on the right track. Measure and you will be fine. Eventually, the full feeling will start with the healing process. I rem the first time I had bowl of chicken Soup and felt it. I was about two weeks out. Good luck to you both.

      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! 😞
