Day 4 post-op. Hopefully going home today. I can not believe how thirsty I am. Still have my drain bubble but think it will be removed before I go.

Everything else removed already removed. I am so excited to see the physical changes reflect the changes I have already made.

I can't wait for my own bed. Soon very soon!

Good luck may's group

Oh wow!!! No...I am new to the forum so I didn't know her!! That's terrible!!!! My prayers go out to her family:'(

I had my gallbladder removed a little over a year ago so I know what kind of GI complications can arise from that, and having this surgery done on top of that, I can only imagine:(

I am not sure if any of you are aware but one of our April surgeries passed away. Let's keep claw0416's family in our thoughts and prayers.

I just read this - so sad. Absolutely sending healing to the family.

As many times as I find out how much it hurts to take too big of a drink, I still do it sometimes:/ I don't know why. As soon as it hurts I tell my self "oh yeah" ugh!

Im increasing the drink intake now but its still hard. Goal today is to get in at least 40 oz of liquid plus at least 40 oz of Protein Shake. Wish me luck its going to be a full time job today.

My surgeon just talked to me about this. He said it had to do with dehydration, losing a lot of Water weight and getting hydrated again. He told me to expect a stall and possible weight gain.

Don't panic! I'm 3.5 weeks post op, I lost 12 lbs the first week and have only lost 3 since. My nutritionist said it's completely normal-we will lose weight in steps!

My starting weight was 262 and I weighed myself today at 243.4 and I am 8 days post op....I am terrified to start eating food again. I have this fear that I won't continue losing weight:( that I would gain everything back. I have a meeting with my surgeon on the 6th so he can assess my healing and clear me for puréed foods. As much as I would love to have solid foods, I'm scared. I guess I will discuss these concerns with him. I just have this horrible feeling that my surgery won't work and I will never get to my goal. I can't even picture myself at a healthy weight.

I am so sad! Greeneyed Girl inboxed me and told me. Our surgery was the same day and we both had our gall bladders removed as well. My doctor told me that my gall bladder was bad and was well under my liver and full of rocks, however, I am still here by the grace of God. My prayers to her family. This is a very serious procedure! I am so sad.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
