I'm doing ok. I think I underestimated the post op discomfort and how immobile I'd be. I'm not used to being still and having people have to help me do everything, so that's an adjustment. I guess I was just excited and ready for the drastic weight loss part and looked right past the recovery phase lol

My surgeon is Dr. Richards also. So happy to hear from someone who has the same surgeon. Do you go to the support groups? I am glad to hear that your surgery went well.

I went to one (the required "one"). I didn't love it, but I also don't want to assume that they would all be the same. I may try another sometime.this month. Have you been to one?

I went to the required "one" also. I hated it. I was looking for a way to get out. Then I heard that Dr. Walfish has going to be at the next one, so I went. Did you see him? It was a really good meeting. After that one, I was hooked. I've been several other times. You should give it another chance. I feel not so alone after going to one. Maybe I will see you there.

      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! 😞
