Surgery went well! They got me in early since my surgeon is super fast. I'm just hanging out in IMCU enjoying my pain mrds and happy to have the surgery part out of the way. God bless my surgery buddies. Hope you are all doing well and gave a great recovery!

Is it that painful when you come home? I was in a lot of pain when I woke up from surgery, but this little button is carrying me through. Don't know how much to expect when I come home. Way to go on the weight loss! This is only the beginning!

I just found this app and registered. My surgery was August 19. I've finally lost all my IV Fluid post op weight gain. Getting tired of drinking my meals. No major issues so far just very tired and finding it hard to get in 3 Protein Shakes a day.

How did you all manage to sleep in the hospital? There are so many beeps going on I jist can't get all the way into aleep. I am using my special button, but still only managed to sleep about an hour so far. Maybe I'm just excited. Even though my pain shot to about a 7 when I stood for the first time earlier, inside I feel like going for a walk in the city on what I bet is a beautiful night. Finally the anxiety and fear of surgery are relieved and I just feel so happy my life is starting anew :-).

So happy for you. And I was the same as you in the hospital. I could not sleep, could not wait to go home to my own bed. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Good luck you two! And I've just been sleeping off and on every hour or so with the beeps. It's pretty annoying. Plus when I wake up I hit my pain button.

You'll never get any sleep in the hospital. At least that is my experience. Praying for a speedy recovery for us all. I don't have to be at the hospital until 7:30. The wait is a killer lol

Good luck to everyone having surgery today! My surgery went great. I don't let the pain sit in because I make sure they keep me drugged. I've done a lot of walking and a lot of sleeping even with all the beeps. My back is where I feel the pain. I'm glad all my buddies are doing good! Keep us posted on your updates.

Off to swallow test in a few. My heart has been a bit slow during the night so I may need to stay in IMCU another night. But if all goes well I will move to another room and start getting sips of Water soon. Hope all my surgery buddies are doing well. Blessings to everyone going today.

      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.

      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... :(
