This is NOT for the faint of heart. This is TOUGH. I did really good the first 2 days in hospital but night of day two

​was a different story. The gas build up in my stomach became intensely painful. I walked laps around the hospital

floor trying to get it to move with no success. Stomach is extremely sore. I was asked last night if I made the right

choice and I know that right now is not the time to answer this. I will just say this is really tough.

First full day home and just working on liquids, getting in the Vitamins, eating pureed foods, Protein. Also, walking around

still trying to kick my bowels into action. I am really looking forward to these next two days going by as I am sure I will

feel better soon. Struggling right now.

I promise it will get better! I had a similar experience and used a heating pad, gas x and walked a lot. After the 1st week most of the gas pain finally disappeared. Good luck!

I cannot agree with you more. This surgery is really really painful. I am still in the hospital first night have awful gas pains, throwing up bloody Mucas and just praying for it to end.

The easy way out? Yeah right. I am paying for every binge and every extra bite I ever took right now.

Us people that make it through this surgery a strong as nails.

      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! 😞
