Hi Sandi in FL, Yes, I am also at Mi hospital. And the Marriott Hotel. Our paths will certainly cross there.

I look forward to meeting you.

stacyfae, I had my surgery on the 5th as well. I can't say I am struggling with the Protein Shakes, but I have been experiencing "head" hunger. At these times I have to find something else to do--walk a bit outside, watch a movie--stay away from commercial TV since there are so many food commercials, read a book, write in a journal. Our tummies need to heal. And unfortunately the reasons we are overweight do not go away with the surgery--it is going to be tough at times--we need to find new ways to deal with life. Keep on plugging away and you will overcome the wants --- onward to success!!

I had my surgery on 8/6 and my experience was nothing but awesome! God blessed me with the best surgeon, nurses, and hospital staff ever! The pain was minimal and I am still sore but totally worth it. I think the most pain came from the gas. I am recovering at home with the most supportive family which makes.my experience all the better. I would do this over in a heartbeat! Now just waiting out the slow but sure outcome!

Just got home from the hospital. A 5 night stay as opposed to the 2 day that was promised. Just wanted to update everyone who has wished me well. Speak to your surgeons about nausea and what can be done to avoid it.5 unbearable days in the hospital has me regretting this.

Best of luck to those of you heading towards the lovers bench...

      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! 😞
