Feeling much better today! The day after surgery is extremely uncomfortable! I really suggest that if you're going to have this surgery, please stay in the hospital for at least 2 days! Don't rush to go home. Stay in the hospital and let the nurses take care of you until you feel good enough to leave. I came home the day after surgery and I felt like crap! Extremely nauseous and I had horrible gas and hiccups! Today I feel much better! So my advice is, stay in the hospital for at least 2 days

Hi guys, today was my day three and I'm finally home. Past two days were miserable but it gets better! Today passed gas 15 times yes, I'm counting, and now I feel so much better. Also I had Water, 1/4 shake and hot peppermint tea and I burped 3 times in a row after the tea, and now I feel much better.

The hard part is the gas, try to walk around if you can and drink Water. That funky feeling in your tummy is gas trying to get out, but once you get it out, drinking gets easier. If you drink it will help with the gas in your track, so keep trying until the gas is out!

I just had my surgery 12 hours ago and I feel pretty good. At check in the nurses gave me a sea sick patch you put behind your and that helped a lot! After surgery upon waking from surgery I had a hard time breathing on my own after be under sedation. Felt like I was trying to breath through a straw but it did get easier over 30 minutes or so in. I have a sore raspy voice. Pain meds I'm on are dilaudid but that made me itch like crazy so they switched to torodol. Weird thing is I've been hungry all day. I can have ice chips and I had to swallow a pill with a tiny amount of Water and I've had zero nausea and tiny bit of incision pain. I do wish I could pass gas because that is uncomfortable. I also have the bed setting up a medium amount because that seems to help my discomfort. I'm going home after a night in hospital because I'm just not getting rest here. I have the gastric stomach test in the AM to check for leaks, will eat broth for first time in the afternoon and if I can tolerate that I can go home. Don't sweat the surgery y'all. I was stressing myself out and it wasn't that bad. Flu feels much much worse. Lucky me, I get to go home to 15 out of town in law family that are here for my daughters graduation and I'm throwing a party this Saturday with a ton of yummy food I can't eat???? Now that is pain! Lol

Good luck to everyone! ????

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
