Congrats. Push your morphine button.

Isn't it wild to be on the other side?!

Hey y'all. I'm home and doing okay. Sore and gassy, but alive and well. I'm happy.

I'm off my diabetic meds and my blood pressure meds. If everything stays as it is now, I'll stay off of them. Going back for my follow up on Nov. 9th.

yes

I got morphine button in hospital and liquid Vicodin for home. Yell and scream until you get that too. It's standard of care.

Yep. It's hard to take. Plus my liquid Vicodin tastes like cough Syrup. I wonder if they prepare it like that so that we don't overuse it...????

I see so many of you got pain meds ???? that was not an option for me other than Tylenol. I finally begged for one dose but then I noticed it didn't work for me ... Oh well lol I'm

Home and feel great other than a twinge here & there.

I'm more concerned I don't feel that 'fullness' after drinking & eating. Started mushy foods last night and I don't feel any different after eating that before. That scares the crap out of me!!!

@@dancingqueene hi...I had my rny on the 19th and experienced the same thing for a little over a week. Thursday morning all of a sudden I could only eat about 2 ounces at a meal and has been that way since. It probably has something to do with the healing process. Not sure when your procedure was done, but I was actually wondering if they had actually done anything there for awhile. I'm sure it will kick in for you soon.

I feel disgustingly tight after more than two sips. I'm starting to hate it. True aversion therapy. Wish I didn't have to get liquids or Protein at all.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
