Surgery is Feb 16th. Surgeon approved FMLA paperwork for 4 weeks!!! I only am hoping for 2 weeks. I really hope she will sign me off at my 10 day appointment assuming no complications. :-(

I have short term disability pay at work, but I have so many project to attend to--- even 2 weeks will be rough. :-(

My surgery is Tuesday 24th, and I am going back to work that following Monday.....if I don't have any major complications. I do not have any more time to take off. So I am hoping that I can sit at work (I'm and admin), instead of fighting off my 3 year old that is very "mommy" when I am home :)

I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet and I'm hungry. I went to bed early last night so I could ignore my growling stomach. Surgery 2-25. How's everyone else's prepping going?

Chrissy bug my doctor it takes about 2 weeks to get over the fatigue. Your low on potassium and feel lifeless tired and lathargic. My Dr requires v8 juice, Tomato juice or Tomato Soup. They are all high in Potassium . I heard less painful than drinking Water. I'm on day three after surgery I am still in the hospital but will be coming home tomorrow. Will start my potassium regimen once released.

That explains why I recovered so fast. I was already on a potassium regimen for almost 2 yrs preop. And Tomato Soup is one of my favorite things. Lol. I don't want to brag, but I was back to my high pace lifestyle last weekend, minus the housework. Lost another 2lbs since surgery too.

      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! 😞
