Surgery TOMORROW!



Recommended Posts

Ugh, I'm so nervous and yet so excited! I am just afraid of all the potential "issues" - complications, food/water not sitting well/coming up, the pain etc... And sometimes I freak out that this will be no different than when I lost 50 pounds (I need to lose about 120) on my own, and stalled out. So worried, so scared, and at the same time SO HOPING for a quick recovery and major success!

Well, wish me luck!!

Best wishes on this journey!!! You will be fine...just relax, follow the guidelines and you'll be seeing pounds and inches coming off...and you will feel so good, physically and emotionally.

The first couple of weeks are hardest, then a few months of full healing, then you should steadily lose, for as long as you need to reach your goal weight(s).

Recommend setting small goals....set yourself up for success from the beginning!!!

Keep us posted on your progress!!

You're going to do fine. Worrying won't do any good, being positive is key. Stay on program with your food, keep drinking your fluids and walking and the weight will do what it's supposed to do - go away. Best wishes - see you on the losers bench.

Had surgery 7/21. Yesterday was HORRIBLE. Sore, very bloated and gassy, walked a lot but couldn't get rid of the gas.

Tried yesterday to move to Clear Liquids, was so nauseous I almost threw up. Needed nausea meds, went back to just ice chips.

Finally feel better today, but doc wants to keep me another night because of all of yesterday's issues. I was so looking forward to going home and being able to sleep. You simply cannot rest at the hospital.

Still pretty tender, but coming along. Finally am tolerating liquids/broth.

Just ready to get out of here.

      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! 😞
