Very well said, we have definitely been living half in, and are well on our way to being all in! I will keep you posted for sure, the gas x strips did help a lot this morning not so much this evening. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time so a lot of discomfort in my chest. But I'm looking forward tomorrow being better than today! And thanks for the kind words ????

Hi! I'm reading a lot of posts and like some of you I'm SO nervous! I also have anxiety issues. I need some help in that area. My surgery date is January 28th!

At my 2 week f/u when I saw I had lost 26lbs. Everything had been easy up to that point. I had no issues with recovery . I was prepared for a slow but steady weight loss so seeing that number at 2 weeks was encouraging.

Today was day one of the all liquid diet. I feel sick and have been running to the rest room to empty out the fluids. I also feel very cold can't seem to warm myself up. Starting to think if this is worth it. Trying so hard not to eat solid food.

Hi, I'm 9 days post-op and doing great. I lost 19lbs on the pre-op diet and I am 26 lbs down total now! So excited for this new year and all the "new" to come.

Just keep in mind the all liquid phase is very short. I have noticed that some people get the chills during that phase. I wonder if it is the body trying to adjust to all the changes. If you can hang in there hopefully things will get better.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
