Hey Everyone, I am one week post op and definitely need some surgery buddies. This past week was so difficult, I was told by a lot of people that the first week is the hardest but I still had no idea it was going to be that hard..... I think it would be nice to have some friends who have been there to talk to! Please and Thank You <3

Hey there! I'm 4 weeks post op! I know exactly how you're feeling! If you need to talk about it or have questions I'm an open book! PM me if you want. I think it'd do me good to have a buddy as well!

I'm having the same issues as nemmings only I am hungry all the time and I don't feel full at all. I tried the sugar free Popsicles but they are super sweet. Everything I can have is sweet it's so gross. I'm sick of broth as my only more of savory. I need some support. Help!

I just hit my one week post op on the 29th! The first week was definitely a rough one, each day gets a lot easier. My left side is still pretty tender

In a month u guys will be golden!!! It just keeps getting easier!!! I'm about 6weeks post op! I can't eat a lot of meats bc they make me feel sick, I eat Beans, Soups, and I can eat chips ok which I shouldn't! I haven't had any dumping syndrome and I have ate some sugar over Christmas. I'm so happy for that!! I just find it hard to eat healthy with the things I can eat easily....I want a big salad and it will be awhile!

Hi, I'm 2 weeks 1 day post op and I will say the first week was definitely the hardest. Ive had a few different things to eat which has made me feel much better like having eggs, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese Soup, shrimp, refried beans/cheese and salmon. I haven't had and dumping syndrome which I am terrified of getting but trust me next week will be much better. I also had my first post op appointment yesterday and losing 15lbs in two weeks made me so excited for what's to come.

Hello, I had mine on 6/8 so a bit newer than you. My first week was a tad rough, but I felt full. On day 7 I started feeling hungry, but I think it was more a craving for substance, but Dr said to add in a snack and make sure to not eat more than satisfies me (at the moment, 2 oz). Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. I never thought I would look forward to the pureed stage until now. 5 more days then I get moved up! You can message me at any time, but I am brand new to this! Good luck!

      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... :(
