I'm in my room. My belly is swollen and very painful, plus the leftover gas hurts. I am on a morphine pump and I have slept most of the day. I have a catheter, which is good because walking to the bathroom is exhausting. I'm also not allowed to eat or drink anything until tomorrow. Lord, Water never looked so tempting in all my life!

How are y'all doing?

You're lucky! My doctor has me on Vicodin pills every four hours so it's been rough. He didn't leave the catheter in so I have been getting up all the time to go to the bathroom. My stomach is in a lot of pain but I have been walking around to try and get rid of the air!

Yay! So happy everyone did well! My surgery went great, was in a lot of pain earlier but I've walked around 4 times now and that helped a ton! Still have a catheter in, thank god cus I could not imagine getting unhooked from all this stuff every time i had to use the bathroom. Should be getting discharged tomorrow! Remember ladies, today was the first day to the rest of our amazing lives! Goodnight :)

I had my contrast test this morning and as of 1:15 pm I am on clear liquids! I have had 0.5 oz of sugar-free Jello and I am constantly sipping Water. I am so tired, which I expected. Two major surgeries in one month is hard. I am actually fighting sleep as I write this. Sleep obviously wins so I will talk with you gals later!

Getting discharged now! :) was getting worried because I could not pee after they took the catheter out so they would have had to put another one in! Luckily the peeing gods were with me lol! So happy to be going home :) in some pain but much more manageable today!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
