Does your hospital offer support groups? Those can be so helpful in at least not making you feel alone in the journey.

They do offer them I just haven't been able to make it

Hello all' date=' I had my surgery on August 27, 2013 and immediately suffered major complications. I spent 11 days in hospital and another 13 days at my daughter's house because the pain I was having was crippling and prevented me from climbing stairs. I am home now I am feeling better and I have lost 31.5 pounds. My only issue is getting in the Protein. Good luck too all of us.[/quote']

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Congrats on the weightloss!

Has anyone else used "juicing" as a way to get in nutrients? I have a juicer and have several times juiced apples and carrots to drink. Going to start other fruits and vegetables. I have a hard time eating food right now but juice is just fine.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op.

I haven't had trouble eating, but then I have a very strong ability to force myself. Sometimes I get to a point where I just don't want to put another thing in my mouth. Water included. It's true the food is still so little, but it takes soooo many bites to get there.

Going on six weeks and I'm still not holding down solids. It's so depressing. I want to eat! :'(

I feel you there. I am having a hard time getting solids in. They just don't sit well. I hate the way it feels after I eat. My friend keeps telling me just to eat a few bites more often during the day. But it's hard.

Do you still have your gallbladder? If so, it could be an attack. Check with your doctor about the pain, just to be on the safe side!

      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?
