I had my surgery, technically yesterday, about 12 hours ago. It went very text book. My surgeon said it was boring for him lol. I was expecting the 4 incisions, but there’s one on my under belly... the “apron” is less and completely glued down. Anyone else experience this? And do you know why? My nurse should be back within 30 minutes and I’ll ask then but just curious if others got them as well

I’m on surgery day and actually doing great. Had my surgery 11 hours ago and I had two weeks of liquid diet and it took 3 days to get over hunger pain and sugar withdraw headick. I lost 28 lbs on my liquid diet and I could eat all the weggies I wanted raw or steamed and sugar free popsicle and Jello with crystal light drinks. Good luck and you get there it is so worth it. Look at long term result and you do fine.

I have that air/gas pains - they were horrible at first but have lessened a lot ... I am experiencing gerd from my Water but my nurse explained that the pouch is so so swollen that it’s temporary and should get better with each passing 12 hours

Thankyou for the encouragement and I’m glad your doing good . Yes I can have all the veggies I want too hopefully the hunger goes away for me too . It’s the hardest part smelling food at work . Lol the evening shift at the hospital likes to eat . I did get a bad headache tonight and I am having Charlie horses. Maybe I’m not getting in enough potassium ?

I had requested a private room so my husband could stay overnight, but they are reserved for icu patients first and then they move down the reserved list

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
