I just got my sleeve 2 days ago, the 19th. I'm having a little nausea, nothing serious like vomiting. I think the gas pains hurt the worst, especially up in my shoulders. I'm doing plenty of walking to try and dissipate all the gas but it's going to take several days most likely. I hate not being able to take a full drink! The sips suck so bad. Out of habit, I've picked up my bottle of Water and taken a gulp a couple of times and it was sooo painful! Re-training my brain to break the old habits and just what comes naturally is going to be tough. Head hunger is killing me! I'm not physically feeling very hungry but seeing my family eat and knowing I can't have anything but liquids really makes me sad!! I'm craving some meat like crazy! Lol

Anyhow, congrats on your new journey! Wishing us both a speedy recovery! Lol

      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! 😞
