Hi everyone! Had my surgery Friday. I’m still a bit sore but not in pain or nauseous. Any ideas for week 1? I know is 2 oz every 20 minutes but wanted to know how you guys survived it.

Hiya, I'm 5 days post op and am not nauseous or in pain, its hard on the liquid diet, I'm just trying to take it one day at a time by getting as such Protein and Water as possible.

Good luck, we can do this!

My surgery date was 7/22/2019, so tomorrow will make my official 1 week.

i think I may be a (lucky) anomaly. I have not experienced any difficulty in drinking my Water & Protein Drinks. I haven't had much gas. While I was sore & swollen for the first 4 days, today most of the swelling is gone.

The best thing for me? I'm NOT hungry! I'm lovin' this! I hope it lasts.

Week 1 was the easiest because all you have to eat or drink is liquids and you're really not hungry and you're very compliant at that point. You've go this, you can do it! Just keep sipping, sipping, sipping. Incorporate sugar-free popsicles too.

I wish I COULD walk! My hip is so messed up. I need to lose the weight so I can go for a hip replacement.

      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! 😞
