Me too!! I'm at my hotel. I can here other stirring in other rooms as well. I went downstairs for a razor @ 4am and walked around a bit. Still not very nervous, just annoyed that i left my Vicks at home!! I can't function without that stuff. I didn't see it at the store when I went last night (I'm in Mexico). I hope all goes well for everyone!!sending nothing but good vibes into the universe for all :)

I'm getting discharged at noon today. Feeling good. No nausea at all. Loving the sugar free Popsicles!!!

I got up to walk every 2.5 hours...it helped the pain go away.

Hope you are all doing awesome!

Lucky you! That's all I've been is nauseous off and on. It's making me not want to drink but I know I have to

I was discharged yesterday evening around 5pm. They were debating keeping me another night because I wasn't tolerating all my fluids and def not getting in enough Protein. I pushed as much as I could and got enough in that they were comfortable sending me home. Still struggling today, but I have more options here on what to eat/drink. They kept sending these horrible smelling broths for meals and Jello. I just couldn't do it. I have only had one bout of nausea, but I have had too much pain to want to eat anything. Today is better with a little less pain as well. Hopefully each day will get better.

Today is the first day where I've been able to comfortably drink 60 oz and get my 60gm of Protein in. the pain with getting up and down is starting to lesson finally. Hope everyone is doing well!

      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! 😞
