Haven't packed yet, but not taking much since it's only a 23 hour stay at the hospital. I have to be there at 6:00 am. and we live 1.5 hours away, so I'll be getting up at 3:45 a.m. to get ready to go. Hey at least I'll get some sleep during surgery!!

Good luck to all of us!!

How is everyone doing? I had sugery at noon. Slept most of the day, so now I'm wide awake. All these wires and tubes ate driving me nuts. So far, so good! Hope everyone else is doing great!

Got home this afternoon...OMG that leak test upper G.I. is awful...tasted like drinking old soapy mop Water with Pine Sol mixed in...yuck.

I had the gas pains in my shoulder blade after surgery too, but after about 4 trips walking up and down the halls it all went away. I think that's the key to getting rid of it.

My body aches all over though and I feel like they must have dropped me on my tailbone because my butt hurts a lot.

I'm trying to sip Water and some Protein shake, but everything tastes really nasty.

I hope everyone else is home today and 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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
