I can't believe tomorrow is day 5 post op already. Started full liquids today...felt really good to have soup! But you know what tasted wonderful to me? V8 juice.< /p>

I know this isn't exactly on topic, but I feel the need to share my "coming home from the hospital" story. I finally left at about 7:30 pm on Tues. Got to my condo at about 8. So, my neighbor had kindly offered to carry my suitcase upstairs, as well as my mom's oxygen tank (she drove up from VA to be with me in hosp & to help me for the first week after. But she has COPD, hence the O2 tank). As my neighbor & I were on the stairs, I hear this crack & thud outside....I hobbled outside, & there was my mom, on the sidewalk, flat on her back, leaving a puddle of blood under her head. Well, after I called 911 and saw that she was conscious, we spent the next 4 hours in the ER. 8 stitches and lots of bruises later, but thankfully nothing broken or a concussion, we made it back home. I'm glad I've been feeling ok, 'cause I've been taking care of her more than the reverse. WTF!!! Just needed to get that off my chest.

Wow, that's heavy. Thank God she is good. Taking care of her takes your mind off your pain. So that's really good.

I'm good too y'all. It's day 2 for me. Bo real pain. Well cause I'm taking pain meds as prescribed. I am also taking pills for nausea, cause I don't want that in my life. They say that the hiccup and all cause it. I do need that one at all.

I'm in a great mood. Not doing too much cleaning of anything, just relaxing. Drinking Protein and Water.

Made it to my hometown. My surgery is in the city about an hour away. 3 more sleeps! My mom hasn't seen me in about 3 weeks and says I look different already...I guess I can thank my month long Water and Glucerna pre-op meal plan.

      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! 😞
