Is pretty good, just discomfort at the surgical sites.

I had my swallow test for leaks. No leaks found. I had bad diarrhea. I am finally starting to take sips of Water. Should be getting a lunch tray with broth. Pain is not that bad. I have been passing gas. Just waiting for 6:00 to be discharged. Nurses are making sit up and walk.

Hey everyone... So glad to be on the other side! But honestly, in quite a bit of pain and having some nausea.. I had band removal, hietal hernia repair, sleeve, and removal of scar tissue. Had my leak test this morning and everything looks good. Sipping on fluids now...

I am home, too. The one hour drive killed me but a quick lay down helped.

I am still in the hospital. Planning to leave sometime today. Nausea and pain was HORRIBLE the last 2 days. Im feeling much better now. Incision sites are not painful anymore. i am dealing with the gas they used to inflate me. Im waiting for nature to take its course!

I came hope last night. Having a problem trying to get my Protein Shake down. A few sips down and I feel so much pain. I guess it's gas pains and I am burping it up. So I guess I am full. I only had a few sips. I am resting for now. Will try again in 1 hour. Does any one have any suggestions for me?

Hey there... Trapped gas is definitely the worst part for me too. I have been walking, taking the maximum allowed gas x strips, and desperately hope I will burp or pass gas. I feel like if this gas gets fixed I will feel pretty darn good!

      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! 😞
