Hi Ladies! I'm April 17th also... and so is LighterMe. Maybe we could have our own smaller support group. I'd love to join with you. I need as many folks as possible cheering me on :) Probably everyone does! Happy Friday!

Hi ladies,
I just had my surgery on Tuesday, March 28th. All went perfectly well. I am now home recovering. You guys will be just fine. Just make sure you follow all of your doctors orders and take your 2 weeks liquid diet very seriously because you do not want to risk damaging your liver or your doctor cancelling your surgery. Many blessings to you all. It's a TOUGH journey, but it will all be worth it.

Hi mzdiva31 and returntome,

I promise you both will do just fine. I am 6 days post op today and I am already feeling myself again. I actually cleaned the whole house today. Of course not as fast or as perfect as I wanted too. But, I did it. I felt like I made the wrong decision the first few days after surgery. However, today I had such a great day, that I am happy I made this choice. Just know that you will get very emotional and cry periodically on a daily basis. sleeping was the hardest for me. I never sleep on my back, so the past few days have been a challenge for me because clearly I couldn't sleep on my stomach or side. So I had to sleep on my couch sitting on a few pillows so I wouldn't be too low because it would hurt to sit and get up. I am still craving fatty foods. My doctor told me that will only last for about two weeks. However, I was not interested in eating them. If that makes sense. I stacked up on baby food, farina, and Crystal light. Those were my to go to. But it would take me two days to finish one little bottle of baby food. Water was so hard to go down. But you have to take sips to stay hydrated BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL DUE TO DEHYDRATION. We are all here for you guys. Just let us know how we can help you through your journey.

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
