I can't believe it's here. I know this is what I need to do but I've never had surgery and I'm scared. I'm starting a new life. ;-)

You will do fine. I'm on my third day post - op and I'm feeling great. Day one and two can be a mixed bag of ups and downs as your new stomach is adjusting. Give it time. And remember to walk as soon as you can after recovery and make laps around the nurses station as often as you're able. Believe me it helps with your healing and the terrible gas after. Best advice I got was to walk, walk, walk.

Praying you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Stay focused on all the reasons you are doing this and the end results. It's a rough couple of days, but you do get through it and then it's a distant memory. Just keep reminding yourself that everyday gets better and cute clothes are just around the bend. Surrender...and breathe. Good luck!

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much!

I have abdominal soreness but I'm doing well. Last night at 3am, I got up and walked 3/10ths of a mile around the floor at the hospital.

In an hour I'm going to try for 1/2 mile. I'm laying on my side and I'm comfortable. The pain pump is amazing!

      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! 😞
