Hey all. Just wanted to give an update that all went well and I am in my room. I'm just really tired. I'll post up some more updates tomorrow. Thanks for the support!! It really kept me strong!!

Glad you are doing well! Such a relief when it is over. If you are like me- in 2 weeks you'll be hungry and ready to be over the liquids! Haha! Today I chewed up a bite of meatloaf and spit it out. Gross, I know, but I was dying for a taste. I cook dinner every night and sigh! But I know this too will pass.

Take care! Congratulations!

Hey all. Thanks again for the well wishes!! Just got home from the hospital. Feels good to be home but my gas pains are horrendous. I'm hoping they start to get better soon. Everything else feels more like discomfort vs pain. I'll keep you guys updated!

Good morning guys and gals! So my first night home was a little rough. I'm used to sleeping on my stomach out of habit and I guess I went to roll onto my stomach a few times and I saw stars!! Otherwise not to much pain last night. Getting up from my bed is a little bit of an obstacle but I'm sure it'll get easier too. Just gotta take it one day at a time!!

Good morning! So today is day 3 post-op and its getting a little better everyday. I do however have what feels like a huge air bubble in the left side of my stomach but other then that its not too bad. My shakes are going down pretty easily now too. Well that's all for now! Hope you all have a good day!

I took gas x strips the first week or so. I also ran out an purchased a recliner. I too sleep on my stomach and still cannot-so the recliner is my new best friend. Also, I've taken sleeping pills to help me sleep and when I lie down, it comes right back up! I cannot drink/ eat or take meds 1 hr prior to bed time - the other night I was in severe pain taking pills and lying down.

3 days shy is 3 weeks post op and still cannot get my Protein or Water all in. But when I do drink Water have a tendency to gulp down until full- and then scared I'll stretch my sleeve. Such an adjustment!

Glad you are doing well!

Well I'm 1 week post-op and did my first weigh in today and I'm down 14.5lbs since surgery! That makes it a total loss of 30.2lbs since I started the pre-op. Very happy with that!!

      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! 😞
