Man, I hope they finish soon, that's a LONG surgery!

LOL...just kidding:)

Advice....keep walking, keep sipping! Hydration is key, and the walking helps metabolize the anesthetic away and promotes healing.

Best wishes for an effective, healthy outcome!

They gave me a couple of blood thinner shots in the hospital, but no meds to go home on.

Sip constantly. If you're on Protein Shakes you can thin them if needed with extra Water. Try and walk / exercise daily, it does seem to help. I'm just ahead of you (12/12 sleeve) and have felt a dramatic improvement in pain and cramping in the last day or so. I'm experimenting with purée as my next stage and that's been interesting and satisfying! Who knew 2 OZ of puréed chicken would fill you up like a huge meal for hours

saltkisses, I had on the same day. I am already eating a little thick very small amount of Soup, liquid only was not doing anything and I was going crazy. But I mean little amount like 3 or 4 spoons. It is helping me. I hope this time goes fast.

Are you guys on blood thinner medication?

I was sleeved 12/12 and have to give myself Lovenox shots for the next 3 weeks, its not so bad but I still wish I didn’t have to. I was told it was due to my higher weight, I guess more prone to blood clots.

      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.
