Kaja, I took your suggestion and put a little bit of parmasan on my broth tonight. It did help! I can't wait to go to the nutritionist tomorrow so I can eat something. I ate a noodle tonight out of the dinner I made for my family and I felt so awful for sneaking it. Oh, well. I've been so hungry. The clear fluids for 2 weeks has been really tough.

Gosh! We must be on the same wave length because I only have a couple hours left until full liquids. I just had some Tomato juice spiced up like a Bloody Mary... ummm first couple sips felt like I swallowed lava. lol I think the sip might have been to big but that's what I get for not just waiting.

My surgery is tomorrow and I have all kinds of mixed feelings. I know I have to stay positive and I will get healthy. Anyone experiencing being very sluggish after the surgery?

I wouldn't say that I was sluggish. I was definitely tired and needed rest. The best day I was awake and aware and wanting Tom move around. Day three I was doing minor exercises with 5lb weights. Everyone is different . If you feel tired. sleep. Don't be nervous. After you will thank yourself

Rosana,

OMG!!! Good luck tomorrow! I wasn't sluggish, but I was tired. I still haven't started a regular exercise plan, but I am keeping active. I have four kids so driving to sports, grocery shopping, laundry, and other regular chores are enough for me right now. When I over-do it I know. Then I have to sit for a while. Just listen to your body, and don't forget this is a major surgery so you need time to heal. Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing!

I love that there are people posting here, and it makes me feel better to have someone to talk to. We're all going through this together, and I know we're all different and we won't have the exact same reactions to the surgery...but it helps me to have someone to talk to :)

So, just to update our little group, I had my nutritionist appt. today, and I can eat food! Right now it's soft food, but each week I can add something new...like fish and then chicken, etc. She was very impressed that I've lost 27lbs in 2 weeks! I'm excited about it too. Great motivation to keep going strong!!!

I am 3 days post op and I keep having these gas bubbles. Not sure why. I really am not hungry just very thirsty. It seems that I am not able to quench it.

Rosanna, those gas bubbles get better. I drink all day long...starts out with little sips, but I can drink more at a time now. Take it slow and give yourself time. I'm so glad you posted and you're doing well!

My surgery was scheduled today!!! August 29th! All they said was no alcohol or aspirin two weeks before. I have not been dieting but now that I have a date I eating about 1400-1500 calories a day so I can lose a little before the surgery. I've only counted calories for 2 days and I'm starving. Not emotional, boredom or out-of-habit hungry BUT Real body hunger that's distracting and annoying! For those who have had the surgery, are you a lot less hungry?

      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! 😞
