Really decent. Just got this horrible feeling in my chest/upper stomach area. Every time I take a drink. Guess it's still gas Because I comes and goes.. So that's what I think it is?

I also had surgery the 24th and came home the 25th. I have that feeling in my upper stomach/. Chest area, kind of "fullness". Could be gas, I just figured its from the swelling and trying to get liquids in.

Yes, I'm afraid of everything, lol. I had a pill I needed to resume taking after surgery and even though my dr said I'd be fine, I was scared to death. I finally took it and was fine. My nurse told me I could take Tylenol capsules, but when I did, I still cut them in half first just to make sure, lol.

I'm managing to get my liquids and Proteins in so far, although I feel like its a full time job. Still swollen and look 8 months pregnant, but the scale showed a 3 lb loss today, so hopefully the extra Fluid is leaving.

I was sleeved on Wednesday oct 23 .. Had that annoying upper gas. I highly recommend gas x strips they dissolve on ur tongue and have worked wonders for me. I can pretty much get down any liquid all kinds of Soups and once in a while a hunger pain even.. Might be a thirsty pain I don't even know still confused lol. I haven't been on the scale since surgery but already noticing a difference in just my face alone.

      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?

      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... :(
