Good luck tomorrow. Please know that there will be some pain. Ok, maybe a bunch. Post op day 3 I was miserable, but it got so much better after that. Walk walk walk and use the incentive spirometer. Take it easy. I found that hit liquids were so much easier to drink vs room temperature. I am 3 weeks post op today. I am feeling pretty good, a bit tired over all. The even better news is since 12/22 i am down 31 lbs. I haven't seen 270 in a long time! Good luck tomorrow! I'll say some prayers for you!

I was sleeved last Wednesday. When I woke up in post op my back hurt. My post op nurse asked me if I wanted morphine. Yes please, I said. This could be super cheesy so I apologize ahead of time. I visualized warm light pressing on my back and stomach. I new that this pain or uncomfort would eventually pass. I kept the light visualization while I was in post op. Which was a few hours because there was a mix up in what room I was going to. When I got to my room it hurt to get up the first time. It does feel better to stand up. My labors were like that too. Laying down was painful. It got better and the pain changes. I said yes to painkillers this not being the time to be toughing it out. I was lucky not to have added nausea. Five days out I didn't use my Tylenol with hydrocodone today. Now the mental challenge begins. Good luck to you. I think everyone works hard to get to the surgery date and being proud to be there is good!

      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! 😞
