My little incisions are sooo itchy!

Do you have stitches or glue?

I went to have my nails done today, and then I went shopping a little. I think I over did it, I really need a nap. I am going to limit the distances I drive until I have my follow up appointment.

I have 4 that are stitches and 1 that is staples.
Anyone gone to pool or been in Water a short time with glue on? Is that OK?

You can't be in Water for 2 weeks.

Think about Chlorine getting into an open wound....

There are a couple private FB July Sleever groups. I do not use Facebook, but if you look in some of the other july threads you will find the information on them

I'm happy to report that I'm feeling awesome, day 9! Yesterday I was even able to go for 2 walks, getting in almost 12000 steps. I'm getting close and closer to my Protein goal every day & have hit my Water goal for the last 3 days straight! I feel great & am so happy n fortunate to have had this surgery!!

Yay you for being so strong during the get together! I haven't had to experience that yet but know it will be tough. Congrats on getting through it unscathed!

I am 1 week out and still having issues getting all my fluids in but I am able to eat yogurt now and cream Soups. From what my doctor said that's all a part of my Fluid intake so I'm happy to be able to advance. I bought silicone ice pop makers and made crystal light ice pops. That's seemed to help.

Sorry your surgery was cancelled Khaled. Did they saw when you can have it?

Hematologist says I am normal nothing is wrong, and he says I am cleared to have the surgery.

Now I am waiting for surgery staff to call me and reschedule.

How is everyone feeling today? I am feeling pretty close to 100%. I think I am going to stop sleeping on the couch and move to the bed. I am able to drink a lot of fluids now. Almost taking full swallows. Not gulp but pretty normal sized amounts. Follow up appointment is tomorrow then on to full liquids. I can't wait for a good cup of Soup.< /p>

I'm day five. Feeling like a million bucks no pain meds yet. Only nausea came after taking Vitamins so going to stop until advancing to soft food. Gone shopping twice now with no trouble. I do get tired quickly but that's to be expected. I hope everyone will have an easy time of it.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
