I've got a killer headache and since my family is pigging out on thin crust pizza (my fav!) I'm going to go take a bubble bath! Ha!

I am getting nervous. I need to stay off Google...lol

How did you make out Imready2015?

My surgery took a little longer than expected and I lost some blood bc my spline was attached to my stomach and they had to detach it first. A little sore today especially where they removed the drain line near the spline. I'm tolerating Clear liquids really well, gas pain not bad at all. Feeling much better than I expected!!

I am doing ok...I am sore for sure. Bloated from the gas and that was pretty painful. The had to hold off my diet because I had not had my leak test until this morning. Waiting for my tray now :)

How is everyone doing? I slept in the recliner my first night home then tried the bed last night. Came down to t h e recliner about 4am. I have not taken any pain meds yet today cuz I don't want to be sleepy and groggy on Christmas Eve. I'll probably take it before bed tonight. Tolerating liquids just fine. Just can't get that Protein in. I ended up buying New Whey shots that have 42g of protein and i can hold my nose and choke it down. But I will only be able to do that once a day. Otherwise healing well. Took a shower this morning which felt so good!

Feeling very lucky to tolerate liquids just fine. Still a little short of my Protein goal but def getting in all of my liquids! I'm either reclined in the bed or what my husband calls "wandering" around the house. Went for a nice long stroll today with my 2 kiddos! Felt great but once I got home it was like any energy I had was just gone! I rehydrated and needed a nap. No real pain. Just some soreness which gets better by the hour! Still in a bit of shock that it's over with and that I did it! Hope you have a great Christmas...it's a new beginning for sure!

I feel the same way. Tolerating liquids very well. Just sounds like I have aliens living in my belly. Very noisy and kinda comical. Having a real problem with Protein because all of the clear protein is disgusting. Can't wait until I can have Protein Shakes again. 2 more days!

      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... :(
