I just had surgery on Tuesday and can definitely still feel all the bubbles. Every day seems to get a little better though.

I am now 4 days post surgery and I am feeling a lot better. I am starting full liquid diet today and am a little nervous so I will be taking very little steps today. Thank you to all of you for your advice it really helps a lot. For those of you that just had surgery as I did, we are going to be fine I just know it. Lets keep our heads up and find the positive in everyday!

I am four days out today and I couldn't have said it better than Fourstarmom. I feel so much better than I did on Day 2. I still have some gas pains but they are subsiding. I am on a full liquid diet and I've had pudding, Jello, a pudding pop and Protein drinks. I'm still not getting everything I need but I'm well on my way to getting there. The change in two days has been remarkable.

We will get through this - even if it's one day at a time or even one minute at a time!!

Hi Fourstar,

I also had surgery on Tuesday but came home Wednesday night. Thursday i felt awful and had chills. It hurt to get into and out of bed. And trying to roll on my side in bed made me feel like a beached whale! Friday was my day to say what did I do to myself because I must have drunk too fast and got the burps and the foamies. Today (Saturday) I feel much improved although I still have a sharp pain in my right side when I have to get up from a seated or lying down position. If it weren't for that I'd feel great. And as a true hypocondriac, every pain in my leg I think is a blood clot!

I don't even mind the clear liquid diet!

All the best to everyone and thanks for sharing. It helps to know I'm not alone.

Bertey

Congrats the worst part is over and will start to get better as time passes and you begin to heal. It'll get better, just make sure you follow your dr's orders.

      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! 😞
