I didnt feel a choking sensation but a feeling of not enough room for what I was trying to drink. It lasted the first 2 days.

haha. I got them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I've never seen the little ones before. It was perfect ! Especially since it can hold hot liquids. I can have my morning coffee ;)

Sleeved @ 1030am and at home the same day. Not sure if I'm the only one, but the pain comes just lying here and I'm having a hard time taking deep breaths. How often are you drinking? Just constant small sips all day?? I don't want to ruin my sleeve just after I got it.

How did you do last night? Very few doctors send you home the same night. I switched doctors for thst reason. I drsnk small sips every few minutes after the first night. Nothing but ice chips on surgery day post op. I was sleeved on 7 October.

I decided to work from home today instead. Thank you for thinking of me. I am still feeling great. I commute an hour to work in a commuter van and just didn't feel up to the long day How are you?

Im glad you had no vomiting or nausea. The gasc strips helped me a little, not much. Walking and moving my shoulders in an airplane like move helped me more with the gas pains.Micah Spain's were mostly in my shoulders for some reason.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
