Thank you everyone for the kind words. My surgery went quite well! I'm having tons of gas/acid reflux issues and gas x is my BFF. Walking as much as I can. Been running a temp between 99.5 and 101.8 but luckily it goes down with meds. Was able to eat 2 sugar free Popsicles, 1tbsp of Jello, 1 Premier Protein shake, a couple of sips of Water, and a couple of sips of chicken broth. A lot of pressure near rib cage and it's a major adjustment. Can't wait not to have this gas/pressure pain!

thanx for the update

i've been waiting with bated breath (did i say that right??)

glad most things went well and surgery is behind you

sorry you are having minor issues

rib cage problems!!

reflux

gas (this too will "pass"!!! :lol: )

little temp - do you have to stay an extra night??

all of the above hopefully will pass sooner than later

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life

good luck

speedy recovery

      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... :(
