Had my post op appointment today (surgery was Oct 14) I have a small infection on the incision from my drain hole but not major, he just said to keep it dry and covered. But I've lost 21 pounds since I start my liquid preop diet! So 21 pounds in 2 weeks :) makes everything worth it. And I also found a Protein Drink I actually like. Isopure zero carb drink. Comes in fruity flavors.

Great job on the weight loss!! Sounds like you are moving along!!! Glad the drain hole wasn't major, I didn't have one with my surgery.

Does anyone take Omega fatty acids in liquid form? I just about threw up when I took it this morning. Any tips?!

Great to hear about the weight loss! And thanks for the protein suggestion. I'm really struggling so I'm going to see if I can order than Isopure zero carb drink online.

So I am home, working on my 1st Protein Shake. I went to Vitamin shop and picked up samples. The Syntrex nectar chocolate truffle is yummy!

I am still in a lot of pain. I am hooked up to an On-Q pain pump. It's hard coming home because my 16 month old is rough and likes to jump all over me. So trying to keep her at bay.

I've heard from a lot of young mother's who are having the same problem with their little ones, she probably missed you while you were in the hospital! Sorry your having trouble with pain, do you think its the gas they pump inside of you? It does take a while to get rid of. The only thing that seemed to help me is the walking & I got some gas x strips which help with the other kind of gas. I think people who have a hernia repair have a little more pain with their surgery sometimes. Sending you hugs & prayers that you will get to feeling better soon!

Thank you. I am passing gas. But you are right about the hernia fix too. forgot about that. I was so out of it yesterday. I am not sure how much is gas vs pain from the inside. If that makes sense. I have been walking and I don't have gas in shoulders or anything.

I got to meet a fellow October patient from this board and that was cool!

      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

      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... :(
