Hey everyone! I'm two days post op and I'm a loser now! Yayy! They found a small umbilical hernia and they gave that a few tiny stitches to rectify that once they were doing my sleeve.

In some pain but I stay on top of my painkillers. I'm up walking a bunch, going to the bathroom and finally able to continue sipping my Water. Just had my first sip of Protein Shake and boy have my taste buds changed!

I will be completely honest I woke up from surgery saying to myself "what the hell have you done to yourself" and I can't believe I had to do this but those feelings quickly went away when I started thinking of my new life and being around for my family ❤️

Hi BigJohn58!

I went in at 9:45am and had my surgery around 1:30-2pm (surgeon had an issue with the person ahead of me). I was in recovery for about an hour and then I stayed the night and was told I could leave the next day as long as my liquids were staying down. I'm not going to lie, I did think about one more night in the hospital but I knew I would heal much better being home. So I came home around 5:30pm the day after surgery :)

Congrats!! I remember wondering what I had done to myself. It went away quickly as the pounds started melting off. ;)

      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! 😞
