Hi everyone! Had my surgery July 17... Boy oh boy is it uncomfortable.

I'm looking fed to feeling more normal :-(

The first 3 days were the hardest/most painful for me. It gets better each day. I had mine 6/25. Don't forget to take your MiraLAX/fiber supplement!

I was sleeved July 14. It does get better with time. Listen to your body. I made the mistake of thinking everything was the same as before the surgery and took gulps and over drank. That was an uncomfortable miserable feeling. Take one day at a time it gets better.

Thank you all! Today I did #2 and having taken Fiber for Constipation yet. I am on Protein shake #2 now. Drinking it 2 ounces every 20 min.

Haven't been able to drink more than 4 oz Water due to drinking shakes. Hopefully I get better with it.

And yes these past few days are the worst. To top it off I got my menstrual same day I came back from hospital.

Positive thoughts to everyone enduring this. It's so painful and uncomfortable.

Omg!! We are in the same boat. I'm post-op day 4, hating life and Aunt Flo decides to pay me a visit.

Why?!?

Congratulations on starting your journey. So many people will tell you the first few days are the hardest and that was my experience too. I'm now 11 days post op and feel better than I have in years. Hang in there!

      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! 😞
