I made it out alive. I had a massage Monday before my 11:30a check in at the hospital. My surgery was scheduled for 1:30p, but wasn't rolled into surgery until 4:30. At this point I was a grumpy bitch.

Woke up pretty rough in recovery. I was extremely nauseous and vomiting for the better part of the night until 4am. We figured it was because my doc forgot to change my pain meds from Delodid (sp?) to Morphine. Once I was put on morphine, it was the difference between night and day. I feel 110% better. I've been able to keep fluids down. I'm loving the diet cranberry juice - it goes down the ease and super yummy!

Anticipating to be discharged tomorrow. My surgeon was very impressed with the shrinkage of my liver and stomach. In fact it was the smallest liver and stomach he has seen in 17 years of bariatric surgery. I was pretty stoked to hear that ????????????????

Here are my battle wounds. Five, small 1"ish incisions. The purple is his measurements. post-255591-14447920967805_thumb.jpg post-255591-14447921053921_thumb.jpg

Usually in my experience, it's the morphine that causes more nausea vomiting, I was switched because of nausea and vomiting to the dilaudid. How about those gas bubbles don't like those one but are you having a hard time with those at all?

      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! 😞
