My recovery has been okay- the first 2 days at home I was in so much pain, but lately I have been doing mild housework, and have been running errands like going to the bank.. And then I lie down because I start to feel pain again. So I try to get some walking in- but I'll tell you, I'm sick of clear fluids now lol

My goal weight is 138, but idk if that's ideal. I'm 5'5&3/4".. It's easy to lose the weight of you stick to the clear diet and walk a lot. Good luck to you on your surgery!!!

Anytime you think of some info that may aide me in my journey please message me.... I want to hear the good and the bad.

Did you ever think after surgery "oh crap what did I just do to myself" lol

All the time! But I have to accept the decision I made.. Just sometimes I forget I had the surgery done, like in the morning, mostly- and I start drinking normally. I get 3 gulps in and have to remind my self to stop. It a work in progress.

Cat.jackson89..how are you doing with your post op now that a few days have past?

Are you having pureed food now or have you moved on to real food I'm just curious how things are going for you?

36.5 lbs lost in 8 days...quite impressive. I'm 12 days and 7lbs down.

I'm doing great! I have some pain when I bend over, but I've been limiting my bending as much as possible. I did get moved up to the puréed phase last week, and it definitely slows the weight loss, but I'm still losing

      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.

        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... :(
