Recommended Posts


Congrats! I go home tomorrow. Had some small things that needed to happen before going home. Hope your first day at home is going well and you are feeling supported and getting rest.




Thank you. It wasn't so bad. I'm just gassy. It hurts a little swallowing Water. I am feeling a lot of support. How are you feeling?

It's easier now just take it slow it will get better. I tried warm Water with a bit of lemon that helped relax my stomach. Everyone keeps saying walk walk walk and they are right that really helped me.

Walking really helped me! Swallowing took a few days to feel kinda okay. I used throat lozenges .. that helped.. I am getting discharged later this morning. I feel so much better and trying to get hang out of this clear liquid timing. I ended up with also a hernia repair so have some discomfort in chest..

What worked for me was to walk pay attention to meds that helped and asked for those.. for example I hated the Percocet feeling so won’t be taking that again. I’m just trying to listen to my body and walk every hour for 15 min... even if is a shuffle... how you doing? Where’d you have surgery? I’m on west coast..

Thanks so much for this tip. It definitely did help tremendously. I've been doing a ton of walking.

I'm so happy that your doing much better. They gave me oxy to help with discomfort. I'm doing so much better than yesterday. I can't wait till I am 100%. I'm in NYC. I had it done at Northwell. I was so nervous about my shrinking liver diet. But my doctor said my liver was perfect. Did u have to go on pre op diet?

Thanks glad you’re doing better today!! Tordal is the pain med that helped me.. the inflammation in my throat went way down after getting that med.

I read instructions dietician gave me wrong and put myself on a 14 day pre op diet lol the doctor only wanted two days before surgery. So I ended up doing more but I am glad I did. He said my liver was best one he has seen all month and didn’t do a biopsy so that was good. I just got home and so trying to sip and rest and repeat...

      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! 😞
