Pretty good I think. No complications, just some minor discomfort after eating the first few days. It's getting better every day. The Staples are driving me nuts. But if that's my biggest problem so far, I'll take it. Feels like I'm starting to get hungry, but it's a different feeling. More of a mental hungry without hunger pains. Following the diet exactly though.

That's great I'm doing pretty good too was really bloated the first couple days but released some gas today so that was pretty exciting [emoji6] I didn't have any staples they used glue on my incisions so I luckily don't have that discomfort. I understand what you are saying about mental hunger I'm on a week of liquid diet so missing the chewing of food part but otherwise think I'm doing good

Yeah the bloating and gas really takes some time to get used to. I eat with a baby spoon and I get up and walk around after a few bites, it helps.

March 19th...revision from lapband to RNY. Originally denied by insurance when I was given a surgery date February 12th. Fought an appeal and won!


Do you know why they denied you? (If you don't mind me asking) I am in the process of trying to get a revision from band to bypass. Thanks!

I'm doing good had some major bloating the first couple days but it has passed the last couple days. Water intake seems to be doing good not really having too much pain besides the gas. Walking is going good on a liquid diet until I see my Nut on Tue

      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.
