I showered as soon as I got home, but they did offer it to me in the hosp. I have a surgical glue and that stayed put. Ditto what chacha77 said about baths.

My procedure was the 26th too. I came home Wednesday nite. The first nite home I didn't sleep at all. Last nite was better. My pain has decreased a lot. I do feel a little itchy around where my marks are. Still moving slow. Taking it one day at a time. I'm ready to go outside to walk but it's so dang hot. The dr told me not to go out in the heat. Walk around the house. What have you all been eating? I can do cottage cheese, but I do eat Greek yogurt with one splenda

Mudgy6 All I can have for 3 weeks is liquids. How is the cottage cheese and yogurt feeling?

Today I had a post op visit with my GP. My blood pressure before surgery has been consistently high for about a year now. Today it was 122/67! So cool to see signs that our bodies are getting healthier!

Every day is getting better pain and energy-wise. Passing gas, but no movement yet. Have been taking about three walks a day to help move things along. Yay kgarrettsatx on the weight loss!!

2 days post op (surgery on 27th).. My bowels are soooo gurgly and talking non stop. Hopefully something comes from all the noises? I'm able to get my Protein and Water in OK. Large incision is really tender and kind of concave and weird looking. Made the mistake of taking too large a drink today, instantly felt it in my chest- freaked me out.

How are you getting Protein? I am 3 days post op and can barely keep Water down. I'm so nauseous, I'm afraid to try anything else.

Had anyone tried eating or drinking since surgery? I've only been able to keep down a couple bites of yogurt and 2 sips of Soup besides Water, which still pains me. I feel like I need calories, but am afraid to eat.

Maybe just stick to liquids for a little bit? And try a variety of liquids. I've heard of peeps not tolerating Water, but find something else. I've been drinking a mixture of organic bone broth and organic chicken broth. (Bone broth has a lot of Protein in it, but I need the regular broth to add more taste to it) I heat it up, put it in a small thermos n then measure out my two tablespoon sips every 15 min. I've also tolerated premier Protein drinks, Vitamin water zero, milk, and sf popsicles so far. Keep trying, u r bound to find something. Did the hospital give you anti nausea pills? They sent me home with zofran. Its a pill that melts under your tongue. Tastes nasty, but works. Also, if it takes you much longer to get something down consistently I'd call your surgeon. Good luck and keep us posted.

Premier Protein banana and caramel drinks. They are still so tasty and 1 box has 30grams of protein in it.

Try drinking fluids at different temps. Try tea, sugar free popsicles, broth, etc. Do you don't anti-nausea pills?

      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?

      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! 😞
