@@Beth Allen - how did you do with surgery? Sending well wishes your way!
PS I had mine on 2/22 as well so let me know if you want to bounce ideas or questions off of each other! Hence the reason I am on this app at 3:23 AM! :)

Glad it went smoothly for you! What you just described pretty much sums up my experience as well. I did walk a lot in the hospital but I am finding it more difficult today with it being my first day home. Wishing and hoping that the gas pains go away for the both of us! Good luck!

The past 2 days I've finally been able to keep food down! Slowly getting better. The doc said I needed to eat "real" foods, but they kept making me puke...so I was on liquids for longer than normal. Yesterday I had solid food, and it was amazing..just the actual chewing part is what I missed lol also- down a total of 44

Lbs since surgery which was 2/2

I am on full Soups. Any and all ingredients. It's liberating to have some variety in what I can eat. Idk. solid food is challenging to me. It's uncomfortable so I actually choose liquids sometimes. I am excited that my sweet tooth has not returned. I crave salt. I'm excited overall.

Today has been an off day. Haven't been able to keep anything down. Only thing I have ate is the Protein and less than half an egg which is weird since I can always finish the egg. Anyone has days like this?

Since it's a secret group there is some hoops to go through to get added (sorry, Facebook makes it harder) The good thing is that it's completely secret meaning none of your friends can know see posts or ever know you're in it  This makes it a safe place for us because I know for some it's not something they want to share. Here's how to join:

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/lanaepetersen and send me a friend request

2. I will accept the friend request, then send you an invite to the group.

3. After you are added to the group I'll unfriend

      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... :(
