And charger for phone or tablet. Lip balm. Slippers. Your own pillow for sleep and for comfort on the ride home. Someone said the johnnies were more comfortable in the hospital than pj's but a robe to cover your backside when you walk the halls is a must. I've started packing my bag, too. Surgery Thursday! :-)

Only things I took was my cell phone and charger, iPad and charger, Chapstick, socks, underwear, sweatpants and pads/tampons just incase and my pillow. I wore comfy loose fitting clothes to the hospital and wore them home. Didn't even use my iPad. I was either sleeping or walking.

      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! 😞
