I live in Florida. How are you doing? I have lost 16lbs so far and ate mashed potatoes and cottage cheese without issue. I have been taking my 30m daily walks and drinking copious amounts of Water every day. So far every day is better than the previous one. Can't wait to get some variety in my diet!

How is your diet and recovery?

Hi all - checking in with those 2-3 weeks out. How is everyone doing? I'm down about 12 lbs since my surgery on 12/21, 32 lbs since I started the pre-op diet. I'm doing great with shakes, Soups and Water but struggling with the transition to "soft foods." I can only eat a couple bites before I feel like food is lodged in my throat - very uncomfortable! I also made the mistake of eating a few bites of real chocolate mousse (not sugar free pudding) yesterday and had diarrhea and a rapid heart beat. So, I guess I'd say I'm still learning my way. My pain and gas are completely gone now. Biggest complaint is ongoing fatigue. I feel like I'm sleeping all the time and yawning constantly at work! Not doing much exercise yet. Would love to hear how others are doing?

Hi Seattle - I'll be two weeks out tomorrow. I had my post op appointment with dr. on Friday and they ok'd me to move onto soft foods, but to start with truly soft foods like eggs. So far, the only thing that made me sick was a Protein shake I think I drank too fast. Won't make that mistake again. I'm struggling to get enough Protein in. I'm still having a lot of pain in my side. Dr. said it would take a few more weeks to heal, but some people have a lot of pain.

I'm having to go back to work tomorrow. I actually had to work from home this past week because we have a huge meeting tomorrow at my office. I was really irritated, but my choices are to suck it up and attend the meeting (and do the pre-work), or get left behind as my company moves in a different direction. Anyway, I'm nervous about getting through tomorrow with the pain. Sitting makes it worse.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
