Congratulations ReDiane. I am in the beginning process. I have an interview next week with the nutrionist. How long were you in the hospital? Did they give you any pain medication?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I stayed the night because I have sleep apnea. I think most people have day surgery

Really good meds. I took as Doctor ordered first night and next day and then a few times at night just because I thought I would get a better sleep

Mine was outpatient so I was only at the hospital a total of 5 hours. I was given pain meds but honestly have not needed them. I took a dose the first night just to help me make sure that I got good rest but other than that have a need them at all.

I had a hernia repair done at the same time. This might have been why I needed some meds for 3 days

      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! 😞
