Doing much better today. No pain medicine taken at all. Only thing bothering me is my drain. It comes out next Wednesday. Water still makes me nauseous, so drinking my Protein shake. Happy Halloween :)

bigbeauty78...I definitely didn't do well with Protein yesterday but I left the hospital at 2 and left my drink there and didn't get home till 4. My chocolate drink stayed down but I felt like I was drinking it forever. Today is my first full day at home and I started with Water because of my thyroid meds...but I will start protein about 7:15 I hope I can do pretty good...it is all laid out on the counter. I can't do cold it hurts right now. I hope we both do good with fluids and protein today. Pain is minimal but I can't overdo it.

Glad you made it home. I'm on full liquids now. Starting to feel a bit hungry, thinking it's more of head hunger tho. I'm doing pretty good with eating ice pops. Down 7lbs since surgery on Monday. Good luck!!!!

Bigbeauty78...wow you are on full liquids?? We have 2 weeks clear, 2 weeks full, 2 weeks purees and 2 weeks soft foods. Which means I will lose quite a bit before I go back to work lol I am just now balancing out to my pre-op weight but they said that would happen.

I had 2-3 days clear and now 1 week of full. I was able to drink a Premier Protein shake today. Got in at least 30 grams of Protein. The doctor had me drinking Clear Liquids the day of my surgery, after my swallow test looked good. Hang in there friend!

      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! 😞
