I'm on my way to the ER now. The doctor sent me. No nausea or vomiting though and with a stricture there would be.

Was talking to the patient care tech here in the ER who had the surgery 10 months ago and she said it could be a problem with me being able to drink thin liquids

@@layknee hope they figure out soon. Water is not my friend post surgery, cramps and liquid burps immediately, though Powerade zero is ok so far.

Same as Smiley. Gatorade 2 works really well for me.

What are your favorite flavors of Powerade zero? I am making an epic shopping trip tomorrow. I feel like I live in Alaska and I am making my yearly pilgrimage to Anchorage from chicken (a real place named chicken, wow). Last time there were so many colors of "Gatorade" and so on, I was overwhelmed and in a hurry, I gave up.

Hey all, weighed in at 168, haven't seen that in 15 years. With my short height and lower bmi at surgery time, it did not take long, long ways to go.

Also, had to get a treat for some guys who repaired my bumper while I was not driving. Went to a gourmet cupcake shop. Amazed that I could not even smell the buttery sweetness u know was there. No desire at all, and I love cupcakes.

Last amazed at no headhunger, and really no appetite. Hope everyone else is the same.

I like the blue, orange and strawberry. The red fruit punch tends to be too strong and the lemon lime reminds be of the bowel prep at this point

      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.

        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... :(
