So is there any home remedies that some of you ladies wanna share with me ?? I don’t have no type of appetite what so ever. What did some you do when you came home?? I actually didn’t come right home I was in the hospital for 3 days.

Well, here a few:

1) Focus on your liquid intake. Drink your Gatorade and Water. You are not going to be hungry at this time. liquids will fill you easily.

2) Make sure to set reminders to get up and walk around. (It is soo easy to stay in bed when you are in pain but it is important)

3) Hot/Warm showers will be your best friend when your incisions or stomach starts hurting.

4) Make a pillow fort on your bed. One on each side. One your lower back. One between your hands. One under your lower back.

These are the main ones that I remember at this time.

If you have any specific remedies you would like, let me know.

I used a heating pad for the gas pains and it seemed to help. Just keep sipping! I swear for the first few days I only dipped enough at a time to just wet the inside of my mouth. My surgery was the same day as yours and I’m just now able to take in a few ounces an hour.

The pillow fort suggestion is such a good one!! I had so many pillows around me the first few days and it definitely helped.

      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! 😞
