Another rough night. Not going to lie. I am in a lot of pain. I have been told I have

a low pain threshold but I metabolize pain meds fast. So don't assume you will hurt this much. I say prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I am hoping they will keep me 1 extra night. I cannot manage this pain at home. That's all for now, o keep drifting off while writing.

I had a hard time of it after my surgery too and they did keep me an extra night. I was so glad that they did and by the time I was discharged, I was feeling much better and ready to hit the road. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Its gas pain. I've been walking since 1 hour after surgery. The incisions are tender but feel better rapidly. I also wanted to update you all that I finally pooped! Sorry if that's tmi but boy do I feel better! So much so that I asked to go home and they are letting me :)

I hope u feel better soon I'm getting scared thinking of your pain is it gas pain or incision hurting are u able to walk any they say that helps with pain I pray u feel better soon

Thank you for your prayers and I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to be truthful. For me the pain is difficult (my super absorbing of pain meds didn't help). I will say Every hour I felt better. Feel free to private message me if you need support. That's what got me through. I met someone who went in a month prior to me

At home gas pains are still in effect but better than yesterday. Looking forward to cream of wheat in the morning. I hope my tiny tummy approves. I'm sick of the empty watery grumble feeling. I just keep telling myself this is a phase and the pain will pass.

Day 3....I slept OK on the sofa. Body is still really soar. Gas pain is getting better. Tried my first sip of my Protein shake, aside from the sharp pain I always get I quite enjoyed it. Going to ask hubby to whip up some cream of wheat when he wakes up :)

      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! 😞
