Thank you all for your well wishes - I can say that I am officially on the other side now. I can only say WOW what a road to recovery. This is day 3 post -op and my recovery has not been easy. I had the sleeve and gallbladder removal. It has been painful with the first full night of nausea and vomiting. Up until this morning I had many moments of stomach spasms that were quite painful. Walking helped and of course the meds. Hoping that it will get better from here -leaving the hospital to go home today.

Again thanks for all of your support????

Thank you - the warm broth and tea has been working to subside some of the cramping. I don't feel hunger, but I'm wondering if this is some way of it telling me it is hungry. I have also started to take the premier chocoate shakes, but I warm up about 3 - 4 oz in the microwave so it taste warm - like having warm chocolate. I'm not really counting ounces right now, I just get as much as I can in..

Hi glad something is helping it's really a struggle to get everything in at first and it can seem like it will never improve but I promise u it does the discomfort u feel may be swelling which just takes time to go away I know I had trouble swallowing for a while had to do very tiny sips went through a lot of things trying to find stuff I could tolerate took me a while to get able to work back up to sugar free drinks that I liked prior to surgery everything tasted awful even Water eventually it got better I was allowed to use baby apple juice watered down and v8 juice for a bit until things got better Jello broth Popsicles I too felt like I wanted to eat after about ten days which surprised me and at first I lost so much (30 lbs in two weeks )weight really fast that my surgeon took me off liquids and put me on cream Soups cottage cheese cream of rice Cereal scramble eggs after only one week it scared me a bit but everything stabilized so things will improve every day every week etc

      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!!

      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
