Day 13 of hospital stay. Still wanting to go home. Can't keep fluids down at all. Not ice chips, water, nothing. Blood pressure this morning only 95/60. So they are pushing fluids in me like crazy. Now found out I have a rash on my arm. Maybe from antibiotics, but they are not sure. Feel like I took twenty steps back. I was doing so well I could do laps around the floor like crazy. Now I did half a lap yesterday had to stop twice and when got back to room couldn't stop dry heaving. On a brighter note maybe I will get a shower today. Hoping it gets better so I can go home tomorrow.

Praying for you! I wish there was so much more I could do. Hang in there u have had a great attitude so far! Keep it up!

Hopefully getting better!! Today was a much better day. Took a shower. After 13 days with a drain tube And pic lines that was a huge accomplishment. Hoping to take another one tomorrow! :) I was able to go on two half laps around hospital floor...without throwing up after = miracle!! Funny thing is the surgeon came by and apologized because they admitted yep admitted to letting me get way beyond dehydrated. But since they have been pushing iv fluids in me like crazy I am feeling better! Biggest items were I drank 16oz of Water and 12 oz chicken broth and kept everything in!!! I hope I have turned the corner! My hubby has been such a great support. He's here everyday. Such a good man. Married 18 years and counting. My parents will be back in town tomorrow or Tuesday so I am also looking forward to seeing them. Thanks everyone for your support and kind words and prayers. Only people on this board really understand how hard this is. I would not go back aNd change anything, or cancel the surgery. I just happened to be the 1/100 or however many that just ran into issues. I will tell you that if you are in pain or you think something is wrong get to your dr ASAP!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
