Patience is key. I'm two weeks out. Last week I was lamenting not being able to have Water (it wasn't settling well so I was mostly hydrating with broth, G2 and sf Popsicles. Then I was able to have room temp water, a victory. And starting last night I was able to have cold water! I was silly to get hung up on it and think I'd never be able to have it again!

Long story short - everyday gets better! Be patient and kind to yourself. You'll get better and better each day that passes.

Also, walk, walk, walk as soon as possible after surgery as much as possible.

Ditto this! I had surgery Monday. Stay flexible and patient. Be kind to yourself. Every day HAS gotten better.

Today is my first full day home from the hospital and I'm finally on track to get all my fluids and Protein, a victory for me!

I'd never had surgery and was surprised both by how miserable I was and how quickly I could improve.

Make sure you have help at home. My dad is taking care of me and was scheduled to leave today, but he's staying cause I need him longer. He helps take care of my dogs, picks things up from the floor, brings me things when all I can bear to do is lay down, all little but frequent needs.

Also, it has helped me to sip little bits of my protein at a time and alternate with water. Before I tried to have too much protein at once and had greater GI distress.

And it's true, walking in the hospital always made me feel 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?

      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.
