So glad to see how positive you are after surgery sassyfrass! I missed you! So happy to know that the discomfort is not too extreme. I was given a prescription for oxycodone for home after surgery, but I'm not sure I want to even fill it. If the pain is manageable, then I'd rather just do liquid tylenol. I'm not too hip on taking opiods.

What the heck is "man fat" and how is it different than "woman fat"? I'm glad though that you had this done now rather than have waited for something terrible to happen a few years down the road.

Get your rest. We will chit-chat later. Glad to hear that you are doing so fabulous!!!

Yaah! We are here to read how it goes. Sometimes waiting is harder than being done with the surgery....

Best of luck and keep posting! You are on the good side now and wonderful things are about to happen to your life!

Unlike the alternative, which was a disaster it appears from your dr.

Day 3: the pain is pretty intense. More than I was expecting. I know part of it is gas but the other is linked to my incisions and the rearrangement of my organs. Lol. It feels like I did a ridiculous ab workout. I was up at 4 am in some severe pain and I think I may have drank a little too much too fast. I got to experience sliming for the first time. Ick....

I go in for a follow up today and may potentially receive an IV of fluids just as a precaution. I'm able to get my fluids in rather easily so far.

I am very relieved for you.

You are going to be a model patient as you have been all along. You will reap every possible benefit from taking this action to improve your health.

Very, very scary to consider what may have been had you not.............

Proud of ya !

You also strike me as someone who's gonna push themselves really hard. Please take time to recover and heal properly first, though !!!! Very happy for you.

Well done and congrats on being on the other side of things now.

Each day of your life will now be more healthy than the last.

      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!!

      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! 😞
