Hey everyone I've found so much useful information since I've joined and can't thank this community enough. Can you guys share tips on how to meet Protein goals on the first days or anything you wish someone had told you that would've made your post op easier.

I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time I hope I can sleep tonight

I'm having my sleeve done a week after you! Good luck!

From what I've read on these forums, the most important thing to worry about in the week post-op is to keep your fluids up and try to get as much in as you can. Don't worry about Protein so much in the first week - some people can't tolerate it all. The main thing is to not get dehydrated and end up back in the hospital.

I had a lot of abdominal pressure after surgery and found it hard to move around. I told my doc in the hospital and he ordered an abdominal binder. Its a band with Velcro closure. What a difference it made for me. Good luck on your journey.

Oh yes big difference. My hospital was very proactive and fitted me and gave me one on my pre op appointment

      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! 😞
