Enjoy your stay in the hospital and let the nurses take care of you.. I was so restful in the hospital that I wanted to stay another day.v :). If u do get anxious when u get to the hospital .ask for something to relax u. Ahhhhh.

And most importantly stick to the eating protocol that was given to u, either by your doc office or nutritionist when u get home. Be patient with the process,

Wishing u a speedy recovery. Mine recovery went so smooth, except for some

Weakness and tiredness the first two weeks.

Good luck and congrats on tomorrow, the first day of your new life. Follow the recovery instructions, and don't push it. If they tell you to get out and walk after surgery, do it. It really does help cut down on the pain. Also, don't be brave. Ask for pain and anti-nausea meds if you need them.

All went well. I'm in my room now,resting. No issues. Right now I'm dealing with a pretty bad sore throat and some upper gas pains. And I was nauseous a while ago, but I don't know of it was from the meds, the Soup, or the gas. Just trying to take small sips of Water to help my throat. Thank you for all the kind words and support!

      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! 😞
