Congrats! I so look forward to getting my date as well. My first surgeon appointment is Aug. 7. How long has your journey been to get to this point?

My first appointment was the 2nd week in May, so my process has gone rather quickly!

Best to you!

Everything went great during my surgery. Stayed in the hospital for two days and nights. No major pain, only dry heaves on the way home that caused us to pull off of the highway four times.

How is everyone else doing?

My surgery went very well also. Stayed in the hospital 2 nights.

Last night I wasn't feeling very well at all, but I'm doing better this morning.

I'm having some trouble taking my pain pill. I think I'll break it into smaller pieces next time.

One thing that I was surprised about is how swollen and bruised my stomach is. Rolling over in bed causes me quite a bit of pain.

Came home from the hospital 7 lbs heavier than I went in. But hopefully I'll get down to my surgery weight this week.

Thinking of all of you!

I actually had to sleep on the couch last night so I wouldn't roll over in my incisions. I keep getting my pain pill stuck in the back of my throat and have to work getting it out.

The best thing I heard was the other day when my doctor said that if you don't go home 10-15 pounds heavier than when you went in we aren't doing our job properly. Total in all I gained about 10, maybe a little more. But it feels good to finally be on the losers 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! 😞
