If I could turn back time I would. I was so strung out on medication that I am still in the hospital on an IV because I can't keep anything in. Oh I should mention my surgery was Monday. They also did a hernia repair while they were at it. I feel so frustrated now

I'm so sorry melissa, I too was in the hospital I was vomiting from the anesthesia and pain meds. They kept me on an IV but switched me to cream Soup, applesauce, pudding and the vomiting stopped I don't know why I could not tolerate broth, tea,

feel better soon

It definately will get better. Don't lose hope. With both surgeries you have put your body through a lot. It's gonna take time to recover.

I was home after my first hospital visit for almost a week and then got sick and dehydrated and put back in the hospital. Turns out I have an ulcer that was causing my problems. So I spent another week in the hospital and then they sent me home with a PICC line in my arm. I still have the PICC line and it gives me fluids at night. I am doing a lot better now though and am progressing with my post op diet. I have a doctors appointment on 6/10 and I am hoping they will take out the PICC then.

      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! 😞
