Yup had surgery last Wednesday came out of hospital yesterday little longer to recovery as wasn't drinking enough but feeling a lot better be prepared for gurgle noises in the stomach and try and walk around as much as u can to get rid of the gas. I diff don't feel hungry anymore and sometimes I have to remind myself to eat (liquard/purée diet) if u don't u will become rather lethargic so worth it I had my surgery done in Sydney at St George Private and so glad I did wouldn't change it!

good luck!!!!

U will find the gurgling sounds after the sugary I vomited once at the hospital and it hurt having nothing in my system I brought straws yesterday I find it easier to drink with them I have five cups a day Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner to make sure I'm hydrated or u will pass out Like I did yesterday eeeek not long to go now :)

No, no straws they can add to the gas issue you will have after surgery!!! Besides after surgery you will only want ice chips!!! It helps with the chewing wanted and the dry mouth you will get!!! I wish I could still get ice like they have in the hospital!!! I love the ice chips!!!

      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! 😞
