OMG! Finally turned the corner



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved together with gallbladder and gallstones removal on 12/21/2015 had complications and had a stent put in, not a leak but a blockage. Truthfully, it has not been a bad journey, but I am usually quite tough. I kept reading and reading on this forum, and as much as I tried to believe I was getting better and better (and I suppose I was) I just kept asking myself "when will I feel like the old me?" "when can eat without all this going on in my tummy?" Folks, yesterday the stent came out, and today it happened. I am hungry, I feel great, I can drink Water. Thank you Lord, and thank you to this forum for all the support I have received. Hang in there, it will happen for those of you on this journey. I am seven weeks and two days since operation.

So glad you are feeling better! I was a band to sleeve revision with hernia repair and the first week was pretty rough. It does get better!

      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! 😞
