Congrats on your surgery! Sounds as if your doing quite well.

So I’ve been told “you look great!” By all the nurses and my surgeon lol. I’ll be going home tomorrow thankfully. Tolerating fluids quite easily except now when I overdid it taking my paracetamol pills. Whoops!

Sounds like you did well! Tolerating fluids this early is a great sign. Hopefully it'll be an easy recovery.

That’s good to know! I drank 500ml of Water in a span of 6hours the day of surgery and was told to slow down! Fluids are going down well, I’m just a bit more swollen today so burping more after each sip. But I get to try some yoghurt today :)). Hoping it doesn’t make me ill!

To give you an idea I had no fluids the day of, the next day I had a couple of ounces maximum and was drinking from medicine cups. It got a little better after, but I was having a couple cups a day until about a week out, then I started to get close to the Fluid goal. After 10 - 12 days I was hitting it consistently... so you're doing great!

      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! 😞
