I've been walking around the house and pacing around my bedroom and a little toot here and there but nothing much. What did work though..funny...I leaned my upper half on my body on the bed and stuck my booty in the air.....and it worked. I don't know why but it did.

Mine is going ok...I have a Wife and two boys. They are all skinny people who can always eat whatever they want! So being around them is kinda hard when they eat their meals. But my Wife has been very good at trying to keep food and smells away from me, so I’m not too tortured! HaHa!

The only thing Iv cheated with is Dill Pickles. But I asked my surgeon yesterday and he said Dill Pickles are fine! So I guess I’m not cheating. So every time I get a strong hunger I eat a pickle and it does the job for me.

My weight loss has been CRAZY!!! I was weighed in my doctors office last Monday and I weighed 475 lbs. I got weighed again yesterday in the same doctors office and weighed 439 lbs. Iv been drinking 4-5 Protein Shakes a day with two scoops of Protein. And Iv also been drinking a gallon of Water every day! But I still lift weights every day...So that’s probably the extra boost I’m getting in weight loss. Iv been so worried about losing muscle and strength after my surgery.

Mac that is weird I did the same thing! I figured I could eat a pickle and that was like cucumber ( which they said I was allowed) the strong taste as the took the cravings away and they are satisfyingly crunchy

My gas was on full blast last night, thank goodness. I purchased some 3 oz plastic cups versus just kind sipping out of the water bottle. Maybe its mental but that keeps sipping more. 6 day post surgery...am I the only one who is having pain issues near their incision site. Last night I couldn't get comfort. I must have turned the wrong way in my sleep...and I could have swore someone stabbed me in my tummy with a rusty and jagged butterknife😁

Awww man I hope you feel better! I’m only at 3 days and still sore but decided not to take the pain meds Cuz it’s makes me tooooo sleepy. Pain is okay long as I don’t move or lay on it. At least you’re almost through your first week. You should be feeling better in no time!!

I have some pain at the site too. I stopped the meds on day 3 as well. I also can feel my stomach and the little aches from it. Still very sore very tender. I try to just sleep on my back. I woke up a few times on my side. Maybe the that's why. Hope you are feel in ng better. I'm having a bad day first day driving and I guess sitting up so straight wasn't the best made my belly ache more actually actually felt it throbbing hope I'm not damaging it. Gotta remember it's only been 6 days. What a long long week

Alright now, take it easy. I can’t sleep on my back so I have been trying to sleep on the side opposite of my stomach. It’s too tender the other way. But I can’t drive until after cleared by doc at post op visit. So you be careful driving so soon!

Oh I definitely have incision pain. Your description I'd accurate. But it's only when I bend over or move. Lol. Seriously I know it will get better. Tylenol is helping. I am going to try your suggestion about the 3 oz plastic cups. I need to play a mental game with this water thing!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
