After leaving the hospital I had really bad gas pains and I got Gas x chewable and it has helped but sometimes I still get really bad gas that causes cramping I am 8 days post op. Hope it will get better with time.
When everything else fails with the gas, walk and walk some more! I hope you feel better soon!

weird, i’ve had a hardish time with Water so i’m sure that’s part of it too.
I forgot to mention that sugar free flavor enhancers (flavor packs, mio, things along that line) help the Water go down a lot smoother and less clunky for some reason

Nice! And I got so tired of chicken broth! I started using French onion Soup (strained), and beefy onion soup (also strained). I haven’t tried any Protein waters yet

I have no idea, it never works for me. That’s why I just quote whoever I’m replying to

@KRush88 Type @ and start typing persons name. A drop down menu will appear with names on, keep typing until you see persons name and click on it. Hit space bar and type your message. Make sure you hit space bar and don't click on persons name again after it is set. Somehow the you get locked in persons name and can't type if you do.

      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.

      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! 😞
