Thanks all so far the pain is minimal and all they have me on is a Tylenol ES drip. One of the nurses did say the third day is when the pain gets tough, here’s hoping I get something a tad stronger sent home with me. I had my gall bladder taken out exactly one year ago at the same hospital and the experience was stellar- the nurses were amazing and everything just went right. This time? Not so much. A couple of the nurses are snobs. Thank Goddess for shift changes. And so happy I didn’t forget my headphones- I have a faulty drip machine whose alarm is going off constantly and a roommate that makes sex noises as she snores!!! lol seriously!!! I wanna go home...

I'm glad it's over for you. As for the snobby nurse, that's on her. Welcome to your new life!

Spent one night, pretty uneventful surgery and, so far, the recovery is pretty much textbook. Not much pain, lots of gas bloat still, upper part of my belly hurts- I’ll ask about that when I go to follow up today, probably the actual spot the cut/stapled my new stomach. I’m tolerating Propel, tea, homemade chicken broth, grape Protein 2o and 50:50 Premier Protein:Water. No BM yet. I’m taking a bunch of cat naps (20 minutes at a time) and I don’t like that, I’d rather sleep in good long healthy chunks of time and all night long. Supposed to go back to work on Wednesday and I may delay that until the following Monday, we’ll see.

Yea, let your body adjust to the new you. Your surgery was just a few days ago. Take it easy. How much liquid are you able to take in now?

      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! 😞

      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.
