Its so strange how we all react so different...I was sleeved June 2nd and I have barely any gas pains, but my stomach is sore and tender. I'm not having any problems keeping liquids down at all...I just have to make sure I take small sips.

I know that this might sound corny but im so glad i was able to pass gas for the first time yesterday since surgery on Tuesday. I see his surgery kinda pushed a reset button on my body because on top of being sore, my cycle came back on this morning. I jusr went off my last cycle less than two weeks ago....uggghhh

I'm 5 days post and tried a Protein Drink and felt a lot of pressure . It's the first time I've felt like I had filled up pouch.. Wondering is this normal or should I wait another couple of days before I try again. I've just been on Clear Liquids.< /p>

i have to echo what everyone else is saying, had surgery 6/4 so 4 days postop. It does get better every day. A little more energy a little less pain. My gas pains were pretty bad too. And just burping or coughing or sneezing is painful. But I am noticing I am better able to differentiate between fullness and pain. Good luck everyone!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
