ALMOST @ THE BEGINNING,

My best wishes and prayers are with you on the beginning of your post-op journey . Its hard to put into words what you are about to go through. Its very empowering, sometimes overwhelming, but in the end worth ever single thing you have and will go through. :D

My tips would be the normal ones you will hear;

1) Walk as much as possible in and after the hospital during the early weeks . in fact walk, you butt off , it truly makes a difference in healing and gas pain right after surgery. ( get a good pair of sneakers , you'll need them and it makes a difference is you have comfortable footwear)

2) be prepared for the return home , stock up on fluids, protien, Vitamins, band-aids, rent movies, and all of the others items your surgical team recommended . you will not want to get out much during the early weeks except to walk and you may be tired after that .

3) set yourself a schedule , walking eating , fluids ... its sucks but if you start off on the right foot it becomes second nature quickly.

4) if something doesn't feel right call your surgical team, there are no stupid or silly question, they want you to be healthy and successful that's what they are there for.

5) Hydrate constantly, try to get all of your protien in,

The rest you will learn as you go, if you need advise or support just ask we are all here for you

Best Regards

RJ

      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?

      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! 😞
