If I take to big of a drink it hurts but then I can actually feel it draining into my stomach.

I KNOW!!!! It's like you can actually FEEL digestion occurring. Eeek

Yeah I get that too. Very strange feeling but I'm starting to get used to it

I had my post op appointment on Tuesday. The P.A said those spasms and those feeling eventually resolve once your stomach realizes it can do the same job digesting with 80% of its power. I look forward to that day. Other thing I dislike is the feeling I have to belch and it just seems to get trapped up in my esophagus along with the embarrassing gurgling.

My bestie is almost two years out and still burps. After anything going in. And I swear I can sometimes hear her stomach across the entire room. Lol

Lots and lots of threads about it. My bud, indecision, is at goal. Gets like 4 hrs of sleep. Says he can't sleep past 4am. That is something I hope like heck to dodge as I've already got severe sleep apnea and feel tired constantly.

I have no problem sleeping! Thank God! But I am wondering if any of u are having bowel movements? I haven't had one since Sunday. And so I have just contributed it to not having any roughage to digest.

Constipation is normal. Tell your doctor and they will suggest a laxitive.

Drink plenty of Water to help relieve Constipation

I'm drinking a TON of water and it doesn't help me. I have to take 2 stool softeners a day and I MIGHT, if I'm lucky, go.

      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... :(
