Glad people seem to be doing ok! I feel so behind since I haven't had surgery yet! :P

I had a bunch of pre-op work done yesterday... I can only imagine how much my bill is going to be after having 10-15 different blood tests, 2 urine tests, 2 chest x-rays, and an abdominal ultrasound. :o But, it's for a good cause!

Mindi how are things going for you? What stage food are you on? I go for 2 week follow up on Tuesday anxious to visit with them. I'm having no issues getting my Protein or Water in from what I read I think I'm pretty lucky.

Patty I'm doing great. I'm on soft foods now. But really I can eat anything as long as it's not hard and I chew really well. Are you on soft foods now? I'm really struggling with getting my Water in. Had one bottle yesterday and barely ate. I didn't feel bad...just didn't want to eat or drink. But that came back to bite me last night when I got really nauseous and dizzy. The more water I drank the better I felt. You keep up the good work though. That will save you. How's everything else going? Are you taking Vitamins yet?

Mindi I am still on liquids till I go on Tuesday to clinic. But liquids include cream Soup, oatmeal, kind of stuff. I'm taking all Vitamins too. I'm looking forward to purée stage hopefully on Wed. Yes be sure you try hard to get your Water in you don't want uti or dehydrated issues. Keep doing good too!!!

Well I pray they let you slide right on through to soft foods. That's what mine did. It's awesome not to have to blend all my food. I'm glad things are going so well for all of us. Abbie will hopefully come to a meeting on Monday. She's almost ready to be sent in to insurance at the end of the month. She's going to need all of us praying for her too. So glad Pam cam through her surgery great. What a great new year we will all have.

Good morning ladies, I am feeling a bit better. The right opening is sore, but that is normal.

I'm glad you both are doing so well

Pam not sure how well you are doing like feeling up to it or not but there is a meeting tomorrow night at 6pm at Sartori hospital. I am going for sure if you need anything please let me know. But don't do anything that's too taxing on you.

      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! 😞
