Trying some room temp crystal light again. Keeping about half if it down. Going to try some tea once it cools off a bit. Anything hot or cold seems really irritating. Burping up a storm still. Ugh.

I have loved reading what all of you who had surgery last week are going through; it is really preparing me for my surgery in a few weeks. I had a question for you all: what was the one thing that surprised you the most or wished someone told you before going in?

Is it true dairy can have a calming effect on the stomach? I'm wondering if I should try a little Protein powder with milk if it does. These spasms are for the birds.

The drain bulb that you come home with. It really slows you down and makes everything on your right side uncomfortable. And you have to empty it twice a day. UGH!

I wish someone would have shared with me how EXHAUSTED this surgery leaves you. I have had a few surgeries and I was always able to get up and moving within a day or two. I am still dragging and I am almost a week out. This is worrying me because I had planned on going back to work next Wednesday. I am going to try and make it through today without any hard pain meds. I have been taking them regularly, every 8 hours, since I got home. I think the meds are contributing to my sleepiness. I just have an overall feeling of "blah" that I haven't experienced in the past. Just make sure you have adequate time to heal up.

Just how tired you get doing ordinary activities. I went out with my family yesterday for about 2 hours. When I got home I was so tired I took a two hour nap.

Well I have 10 days left Til surgery and I am sooooo worried that my liver will be to large to have the surgery. I've been on this liver shrink diet three weeks but I have messed up a few times like last night I ate chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurant and last week I had low sugar ice cream every night and I've had sandwiches for lunch instead of salad for a few days.. I have messed up so bad the last week and I'm nervous my liver won't be small enough. :-(

      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... :(
