Newbie looking for buddies! 10/16 Surgery



Recommended Posts

Looking for some October buddies so we can have moral support and stuff (i.e. exchange numbers and instagrams if you want). I have my surgery date 10/16 and am currently on day 5 of liquids. I already spoke w/the anesthesiologist from the Hospital the other day and just need to be told what time to arrive. Also from S. Florida! :)

It's good to know someone is having the surgery the same day as me. ^.^

Surgery done last thursday (10/16) everything went well, some pain (of course) first two days at the hospital and now at home pain has gone, except for cramps that come and go, which I've been told are normal. I won't weight until finished the first week. It's very hard the first days on Full liquid, although you don't have any hunger psychologically its a stress but manageblable. I hope as days pass by and I progress into the next steps everything will be fine. No regrets at all, already feeling good.

Hi all,

This morning I decided to weigh myself and got a shock, kept jumping off the scales and back again, just to make sure the scales were working properly. It would appear I've lost 11Ibs. This put a big smile on face.... I'm so ready for this journey and the challenge.

Lifeafterfluff - What's your surgery date?

It has been a week and a half since my surgery on the 16th and I feel great by the day. Very bored about the Full liquid diet but i just need to relax a couple more days to get to the next stage that i know will be much better. Lost 33 pounds since pre op diet.

      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! 😞
