Recommended Posts

Surgery is tomorrow morning. Im a nervous wreck and I can't figure out if I have everything I need for tomorrow. I am staying a week with my mom since I have a little girl that loves to be carried and cuddle just by me.

Tips to get thru the first week? And when did you guys went back to work. I only have one week off and I'm freaking put its not going to be a lot of time to recover.

Congratulations on your surgery, best wishes for a great outcome. Some people do just fine with just a week off, but 2-4 weeks is probably more reasonable.

I am sure your Mum will be a great help and your little girl will be fine, no doubt.

Congrats to the newbies! You really don't need much more than the clothes you plan to leave in, and some flip flops. I was only there long enough to be sleeved, wake up, walk, sleep walk some more, pee and leave. You don't really need much. a toothbrush. You'll want to take a toothbrush and a hair brush or a comb. I took off a month. It was heaven. I had a wonderful recovery. A rough 3 or 4 days, but after that, it was awesome. I used that time to not only recover, but to re-learn how to eat, and to do some hiking with the hubs. It was awesome. Oh, I said that already.

How exciting for you!! I only took a week off and it was fine. I have a desk job. Just don't over do it. If you get tired, rest. You won't feel so great the first few days but soon after that you will start feeling better

Good luck to you all. I'm 3 days post op and feel great. Home and resting and drinking fluids. No vomiting. Feel fantastically not hungry at all and ready for my new life to start. So put your nerves and doubts to bed. You're taking good care of your future x

      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! 😞
