I'm on total lockdown because of everything happening in my city. Curled up with the news. A month ago I would have been turning to food in this time of stress. Right now it all feels so surreal.

Day 5 post op and still hurting a lot on the left. Haven't been able to sleep in my own bed yet, hurts too much to climb into bed. I am so tired I feel like I haven't rested enough to heal. It seems like everyone else is doing great, is it just me dealing with this?

I know the feeling. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital. I came home yesterday excited to be I my own bed. Laid down for a half hour and couldn't get out of bed at all. My dad had to come physically pick me up out of bed. I slept upright in a chair last night

I struggled a lot with pain after surgery (12 days on pain meds, not like they helped that much), and still am having trouble sleeping through the night. My docs are attributing it to time on the operating table having reaked havok on my hips. They even put me back on a once-a-night dose of oxy to try and get me to sleep through the night, vs. waking up in agony. It hasn't been working so far. Frustrating!! Still, I have no regrets, just wouldn't mind one bit if my body decided to heal a teensy bit faster. :)

Yes!!! All the time!! And it doesn't hurt or anything. They sound almost like belly growling when I used to be hungry. Weird thing is I know I'm not. Lol. I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!

I hope they find the second subject soon. I hope you're not in Watertown! Kinda scary even on Cape today - they talked about shutting down the Sagamore bridge due to a strange package the police got alerted to. Turned out to be a workers tool box. Everyone is on edge. I can't wait for this all to be over... :/

      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... :(
