How are you feeling now? Better I hope?



Still in pain but trying as the days pass by and thanks to everyone who came to my defense it amazing that there are people who rather pass judgement then say a kindly word

How did you do getting back to work? Are you feeling better and able to work a full day yet? My Dr. told me recovery could take 4-6 weeks but depending how I feel I can go back at 2-3 weeks if I am up to it. I have a total desk job so I'm keeping my options open. I submitted for 6 weeks on FMLA and applied for short term disability and will take it one day at a time. I hope you are feeling good now.

      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! 😞
