Hi Marie,

You'll find tons of answers to your questions all over this forum- everyone has a different experience and story to tell. It's important to remember though that what works for one person might not work for you. I stayed in the hospital only one night, but have a friend who stayed for 3. I drink the Premier Protein shakes- she can't stand them. I've never had much of a problem with getting fluids down, while others take quite a while to retrain their bodies. As far as "what happens after surgery", there's tons of personal opinions and experiences for that too here- each surgeon has some different requirements, just as each body heals differently. Gathering information is very smart, bearing in mind that this is your journey to take. Keep us posted :)

I was in the hospital three days. Started sipping Water almost immediately. I make my own Protein Shakes with recipes from the bariatric foodie cookbook.

      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! 😞
