Hi there and congratulations! Hope you're feeling better today. The walking really helped me so much during the healing phase. I was also constipated -- didn't use pain medication but just from the anesthesia in the hospital -- and I had to take something to help with that. Best wishes -- you are on your way!

Walking does WONDERS for the bloating and pain. Everyone (not the folks on here) around me kept telling me to take it easy and not push myself, but walking is the best thing you can do. Also, everyone is different, so everyone's recovery is different. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you. :D

Walking everyday helped so much. I also had to sleep sitting up/on a recliner for the first month. It was just too uncomfortable to lay down. This band is a learning process. I'm still learning. Remember small bites, chew, chew, and Protein first. Good Luck.

Hi Kerry 5570,

Glad you are feeling better. I enjoyed walking and still do to release the bloat. I still also enjoy my heating pad and gas-x thin strips. (I recently switched from chewables).

To add a ticket, look to the top right of the screen where it says "Hello Kerry 5570" Click there and then click on you avatar the little person to the left. On the left hand side of the next screen look for tickers. Click tickers. Then click add tickers on the next page. It gives you some options for the weight and the little marker.

Best Wishes

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
