I installed an iOS app call T-Zero that'll do a countdown.

Yes, I created a countdown until the 27th.

I did the same thing! I totally understand. I've got one going now for my estimated plastic surgery date.

Getting things packed for tomorrow morning.

I have to be at the hospital by 6 AM, and then surgery is scheduled for 8 AM.

The doctor has decided he is going to fix the hernia as well as do the bypass.

Initially, he was going to wait on the hernia repair until everything healed up inside.

I am looking forward to this new path in my life, and have no regrets.

Surgery went just fine.

Five holes in my belly.

He put in three sutures to repair the hernia, so that's the thing is giving me the most pain now.

No gas pain to be had. Coughing is a nightmare at the hernia repair site.

Was released on Saturday afternoon to full fluids, which surprised me.

My surgery weight was 283, and this morning I was at 277.2. That's the lowest I have been in several years.

Congrats!!! I know it feels great to be down to a weight you haven't seen in years.

I was sleeved on 10/27 at 271lbs. Also had my gallbladder removed and the combination caused severe nausea. I'm feeling so much better now! With the drain and gallbladder removal I ended up with six holes. The worst for me is the drain site. I too experienced no gas pain whatsoever. This morning I was down to 254.4lbs which is pretty amazing.

As of today, I'm at 274.2 pounds. I'm not stressing about the amount of weight I have or have not lost so far. It'll leave eventually. :-)

I can't remember the last time I was in that area, weight-wise.

My gut feels fine, but the hernia area is sore and testy. Tramadol isn't helping, nor is Norco. :-(

Meanwhile, I slept about 12 hours from last night till today. I figure it was just my body demanding quiet recovery time.

You absolutely should not stress about it! It will come off and your are doing great so far. I hope the hernia area heals soon. Listen to your body and rest up! I'm jealous have a two year old so I won't see 12 hours of sleep for another 16 years lol.

I'm at 252 today and my main complaint is I'm suuuuper constipated! Have my post op in an hour and I'm hoping i can get some tips on this from my doc. It's the worst feeling.

sleep in 16 years? My daughter is 33 and I still have trouble sleeping. Your parents are already laughing about your misconception.

      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! 😞

      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.
