Surgery Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Glad to report that after the initial few days of misery... It has subsided and I'm feeling much better everyday! It's important to be prepared for how awful you will probably feel initially after surgery.. But recovery is rather quick so just keep the goal in mind! Thank you for everyone's thoughts and prayers :)

I had my surgery 9/24/2014 and they let me come home yesterday!! And needless to say the gas pains are almost unbearable.. I have walked and walked and walked, taken gas-x and don't seem to be getting any relief. I'm also having a hard time drinking anything, because it just adds more gas, and I'm not really hungry.

I'm also wondering what kind of Protein Drinks people are drinking??

I mix up fuzzy navel Syntrax Nectar the night before...2 scoops and 4 cups Water is 46 grams of Protein. I also have unflavored Syntrax that I put in strained Soup for another 10 grams. And then, do a ready to drink. It is not as bad as I thought it would be

      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! 😞
