Took me a bit to figure out as well. Click on the triangle up top-right by your profile name, one of the options is "My Surgery" You can update your info there.

Strange, I don’t have that screen anywhere, mine is totally different. Are you using an app?

I am one week post op. I am totally struggling. I have diarrhea every time I eat. I talked to my dr. They called in a prescription that cost 7,000, called dificid. I have no energy at all. My regular dr won’t do anything be because he doesn’t want to go against the surgeon. Waiting to hear from my surgeon…

I had diarrhea my first week also, by week two it had calmed down. Now I'm just constipated unless I take Miralax everyday. This surgery really does a number on your gut.

Well I’m a hair over 2 weeks post op and looks like I’ve hit a stall, haven’t lost anything the last few days, how long did that last for others?

I stalled around 2 weeks and it lasted about a 1.5 weeks. I'm finally losing again. Hang in there!

Yep my surgery was 5/15, I am at a stall. Only 19 lbs so far. So now on soft blended food. I mix up casserole dishes for hubby, family, add everything I can eat , take out a couple cups, blend if necessary and half fill 4 ramekins. I then go forward with fixing the casserole for the family, bake as directed. Freeze 3 of the ramekins for me later. So far everything tastes good. Look up noodless tuna noodle casserole also cauliflower mushroom risotto

My stall hit a couple days before I was 2 weeks post op and lasted a solid 2 weeks. But the scale is finally moving downward again, much slower pace, but it’s going down! I’m a month out today!

Something cozy to wear. I was so cold. Not sure if that'll translate now that it's warmer. Honestly, I slept most the time, and if I wasn't sleeping, then I was drinking or walking. Depending on how long you're in the hospital, toiletries will be needed. Music is nice, so headphone. And don't forget your phone charger.

What does a typical day look like for you in terms of food or liquid (not sure what stage you're in)?

      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
