If you do your breathing exercises with that little hickey doo and your coughs it could help with the fever.

I can't believe I just said hickey doo.

So today as I should be doing homework but couldnt focus so started reading over my paperwork for my procedure. I see they will have me listed as NPO (no food or drink) for 24 hours. Oh really so they are going to give me meds and no food. I just got scared. My stomach is so sensitive if I have asprin on a empty stomach I will vomit.

They will be giving you bags of Fluid via your IV. I also got medicine that way too. But speak up and tell them your concerns!!

      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! 😞
