Heyyy I had mine the 7th as well :) OMG I find it so hard to stay up moving about without having to sit and lay down. I hope this feeling goes soon as I'm due back to work next week.


Congratulations on your surgery [emoji5]

Since my surgery last week March 7 a nap is a good thing, in fact I nap often which is unlike me. Is anybody experiencing this ...

It might be lack of calories, but I bet it might have more to do with your body healing itself after losing 80% of a major organ. Your body went through some serious trauma and sleeping is one way it's healing. When my husband had his stroke last year, I swear he slept for three months straight. He was barely awake...ever.

Also, are you taking a B Complex-50? That does wonders for your energy.

I will see the doctor on Friday and get a list of everything I need to take...I'm just taking it one day at a time or shall I say one nap at a time

I was the same way. It's your body healing and recovering.

I took off work for 6 weeks after my surgery, and I took a nap every single afternoon during that time!

      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?

      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! 😞
