Keep walking, walk as much as possible. Every time I woke up, I used the bathroom, then walked till I was tired.

Three weeks out tomorrow! Down 17 pounds (SW 200 CW 183). I've ran three 5k's on treadmill in the past week and had no stomach pain at all! Starting soft diet on Thursday (although surgeon let me have thick Soups and scrambled week last week). Feeling great, but I'm exhausted by evening.

Ditto this!!! Walk walk... I felt so much better when I was walking. The pressure and bloating from sitting down made me hurt more. Walking helped with pain.

Today was my first post op surgeon appointment. All is great!

I am day #8 today post op. Tomorrow I start Phase 3 diet: Purée foods. Off narcotics day 3 & Tylenol until day 5.

Doing pretty good!! Definitely dealing with air bubbles not wanting to come up... Feels "hung up" or stuck and have a hard time burping..... Dr said it will get better & it's normal.

PreOp Diet Starting Weight: 215

Didn't someone start a FB group of the July-er's ?

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?

I have not... But I have taken a long shower and rubbed lightly with body wash the incision area. It was just fine.

I have actually had the 3 smaller ones already come off and fully closed. Only one with glue really on it is the big one next to belly button and one on my left side.

I have that issue, like I need to burp but it is stuck. Usually standing up fixes it.

I will try that more... And maybe even move around angle wise. Sometimes bending over and putting some pressure on the stomach to help move it up. Sometimes even drinking Water will help move it up.

Dr said it is probably getting stuck on the diaphragm and will get better once swelling/healing is better

      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! 😞
