Made it through pretty well. In pain but expected. Can't sleep so thought I'd drop a quick update. Was told I'd probably be here two nights. No fluids yet. Have to have upper GI first thing and then I can attempt drinking. Keep brushing my teeth because all the iv meds give me a terrible taste. Blech. Moving around pretty well.

Awesome congratulations!! I'm doing pretty well also. Walked 3 times last night and went to pi 3 times so. Have not really passed a lot of gas yet. How about you?

I am still in the hospital. Yall are lucky you were discharged and lucky to only have minimal pain. I wish I wouldn't have had all three surgeries at one time. I am having pure hell! Nausea, vomiting (minimal thank God), and intense pain. I looked at all my op sights and I am covered with staples instead of dermabond, which is weird because he always uses glue. I can't drink either without sharrrrp pains in the mid epigastric area. Not sure he will let me go home tomorrow either. I'm just glad y'all are doing well.

Had to stay two nights. Was released just after noon today the 19th. (Surgery was the afternoon of the 17th.) Yesterday was not fun at all. No complications or anything, and everything went smoothly. Still am experiencing some soreness but nothing out of the ordinary. Glad to be home.

Jakcelyn Im so sorry you re going through this much pain and suffering. I had my surgery on the 16th and the last two days have started to make me human again. Has a little worry when I spiked a temp of 100.6 but it went away on its own within a few hours so the doc isn't worried. They did give e a tac block ( nerve block) in the belly right after surgery and one of the needle sites is very very sore, which the anesthesiologist said would be as they went deep into the diaphragm area. I wish I didn't have to cut up pills lol but I don't mind. They gave me a huge amount fo vicodin that I couldn't possibly use if I had pain for 3 months then maybe. lol Im thinking and hoping for you to get better. I hope things will get better for you fast.

We are going to do win this, any way I can help even if its just to chat, let me know. Keep the faith. .

Day 2 post op. Will be released tomorrow if I tolerate shake. Can't believe I'm only a little sore. Had a tubal at the same time. With my gall bladder removed laparoscopically, 10 years ago, I was in soooo much pain.

Bsfwife, I've been reading several posts because I struggle with getting my liquids down also and it seems to be the norm. The past 2 days I was averaging around 30 oz. I'm striving to get more in tonight, but I feel so full already! Just keep working on it. We'll eventually get there!!!!

Thanks for the support. I had visiting nurse today who was concerned, but just can't push it. I was super shocked at the deep whole where the stomach came out. Not pretty. Also sad that I don't like my chocolate muscle milk so back to the drawing board on Protein choices.

      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... :(
