I had my surgery on May 7th. When I awoke here's what happened.

1. I was soooooo sleepy.

2. My throat hurt

3. I wasn't hungry

4. I didn't walk :(

5. I had no problem getting up and down to the

6. Took pain meds 3 times

7. Lots of baby sips of Water which kind of hurt if the sips were too big. My orders were 15cc/ 15 minutes. I would drink half wait a minute then drink the other half

Day 2

1. I had slight pain in my left shoulder, when I spoke with the nurse she reminded me that while I was in surgery they filled me up with gas! The only way to get rid of it was to walk (duh) so off I went! And I honestly felt sooooo good!

2. I was not hungry again

3. I walked a mile in incriminates. I would walk come and rest then repeat until I reached a mile

4. No more shoulder pain!

5. I passed gas (early morning-sounds funny but you will understand why it's exciting when you do the sleeve

6. I ate lime jello! Not much again in baby bites

7. I had a bm!!!

8. I was released!!!! As soon I left I filled my pain meds just in case and bought chewable bariatric Multivitamins

9. I ate pudding an entire cup. It didn't hurt thanks to the baby bites

10. I rested :)

Day 3

I just keep feeling better and better! Still, I take it easy

1. I chewed my Vitamins

2. Started on 16 oz of Water

3. I ate pudding, homemade chicken broth, pudding with Protein powder. Never felt so full!

4. Went to the local grocery store and did my mile :) still giving myself breaks. Remember to take it easy

5. Went to a family get together for Mother's Day

6. Came home and rested

Day 4

I can drink water with bigger sips!!

Started out my day same as always. Also one thing I've realized, I haven't been nauseous since I had the surgery. Not once. I think it's because I take it easy. I know many people say that weight loss surgery is an easy out but that is completely false. This takes hard work and dedication! Remember that. Also, I have lost 5.3 lbs since my surgery 4 days ago. I don't feel weak or fatigued, because I acknowledge my super surgery. Good luck to you all and I will keep you updated:). I will be on the full liquid diet for 3 more weeks so my diet will be similar from now on.

      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! 😞
