Recommended Posts

Hi,

I hope you are all happy and well <3

Im 3 weeks post op tomorrow still on puree'd food only and prot shakes. Incisions all but healed with a tiny pinching burning feeling next to my lowest incision when i bend down only and its not too bad so i think just healing.

Ive dropped 7kilos (16lbs) in the first 2 weeks but nothing in the 3rd week am i expecting too much? maybe. Anyone else like to share their numbers as i feel like need to know if others are similar.

Also i slept ALOT over the last 3 weeks, my body seemed to want 8-10hours of sleep per day but i have managed to fit walking in also, now back at work so illl be moving more.

Ty

Nin :)

CW 191

34 lbs total, and I never thought I'd see below 200 in my adult life time!!!

I'm in a bit of a stall, was 192 all last week now 191 but I'm not freaking out bc my pants are too big lol. My boyfriend says last night, "babe you look great, but your butt in those jeans looks a little droopy" I was so happy with that compliment

Hi,

I am one week post op today and I have lost the 6lbs that I gained during my first few days in the hospital...I guess I still have fluids and what not that is causing this which is a little frustrating to say the least...I also have a big tummy from being swollen...I do not get the full feeling either when drinking...I can sip and sip and sip away and not feel full....Anyone else feeling this way? Not losing and not feeling full from liquids :( hope this changes....I also have a lot of pain....when moving any position....God bless all of you and keep me posted on your journey!

Liz

I'm 4 weeks post op. Started at 252 lbs currently at 230 lbs. having trouble progressing in food. I also have incisions that don't seem to want to heal. Went to the doctor and she just told me to keep Neosporin on them. They pop open and drain, not sure what to do. BM are once every 3 days? Very dark in color. Normal?

Madalyn, my incisions are almost completely healed and I would be concerned if they kept opening and draining .

Thank you all so much for your honesty and willingness to reply. Im worried that it is not happening as fast as i thought or that its not working for me. I am sticking to the plan and trying to be positive.

Has anyone else noticed that they are a bit emotional after surgery, i definitely have and seem to be tearing up at the smallest of things. I did read that it can be a anesthetic side effect.

Trying to be patient.

      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! 😞
