They already took my iv out less then 24hours

Awesome. At this time last week they were fighting to get a iv in my hand when i flat out said my veins roll and blow and not to use it. 10 mins later in was in my forearm. Today i feel even better. Still got some Water edema.

Good luck! Keep us posted! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I am finally home. I had lots of pain from the gas for the first 2 days, so I did a lot of walking. I couldn't rest at night. This is day 3 and I am much better. My hubby has been a godsend. It's kind of hard getting the liquid down, but I guess my body is still adjusting.

I can't wait to join the rest of you on the losers bench! The 30th can't come soon enough. I have finally got control of this liquid diet. I do, however, find it quite curious how some doctors have you do a 2-week and others only do a 2-3 day diet, and some don't have to do one at all. I wonder what causes those preferences in each doctor.

I agree, also, post-op diets are different per each doctor as well. You would think this type of stuff would be universal after the amount of research that has gone into these surgeries . Makes you wonder...

      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... :(
