My surgery date was 3/13, last week Tues. However I have to say I feel like crap, I'm super miserable. I completely understand that my body is changing and it's going to take time. I kind of just need to vent. My throat is sore from the tubing, anything and everything feels super heavy in my stomach mostly the Protein Shake, I'm nauseous all the time, I'm barely getting 64oz a day. Is anyone else going Through this? Or went through it? When did it get better for you? What made it better?

Ugh! I am so sorry you feel lousy. It will get better!! Pain meds, especially on an empty stomach, can cause major nausea. You can ask your md for anti nausea meds-zofran was my best friend during my pregnancy, post c-section and post sleeve. I slept a lot my first two weeks. You will feel better, i promise! Good old homemade chicken broth saved me those two weeks. Sending you lots of love and support!

I have a bit of a vomiting phobia so I stayed on the anti-nausea meds a bit longer than I needed I suspect - to be safe! Everything is more bearable when you don’t feel like chucking!!

The rest gets better pretty fast. Two weeks out, I was feeling pretty good, going for walks outside, trying flavours of Protein Soup (WAY better than the shakes!)

You’ll get there...

      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! 😞
