It probably took about a week to feel like me again. As soon as I woke up from surgery I asked the nurse to take me for a walk and then I was walking around the ward every hour for about 5 minutes. The first time I went I could not go far and I felt like I had been run over by a bus, but I'm glad I did it. I drove about 3 weeks after surgery, I only took that long to drive because it had snowed and I was scared I would fall over. Just take your time, your body will let you know if your doing something it doesn't like. I went to a friends house for Thanksgiving 5 days after surgery and I thought I was going to die, do things at your own pace. Don't try to eat and drink at the same time, it hurts like crazy. Make sure you take your Vitamins and drink plenty of Water. This is your journey, some days you will feel great and other days you will ask yourself "what have I done". I'm so happy I had my surgery, I love the changes in my weight and in my life.

      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! 😞
