Oh Synlee I'm so sorry. You'll have to go in soon as you'll be rather dehydrated by now. Plus they can run some tests, some kind of scan would be good to see if anything looks not quite right. Remind me what WLS you had? I wish I could make all this disappear for you. I'm hoping Loot chimes in, I saw them post elsewhere with similar issues, you're not alone. Big hugs to you.

Well I spent Mother's day in Local ER for iv fluids... and now today I'm back at Hospital where I had surgery. Had CT no leaks, so that's good.. but still can't keep anything down. Still waiting on rest of test. Hope all is going well for everyone. Hugs

Hi Ladies, my surgery is May 22. My first doctors visit was only 2 months ago (March 23rd). I had no idea that it would be this quick. Ish just got real…now I’m nervous as heck! I went to my pre-surgical class today. I start my 1-week liquid diet tomorrow. 🙏🏽 😊

Had my RNY Thursday. I can’t believe how pleasantly surprised I am at the lack of pain! I feel so blessed. I had Tylenol and pain meds the first two days and haven’t needed anything since. The gas is ridiculous, but moving really does help. I was terribly weak yesterday, but after starting the twice daily Protein Shakes, I feel human again. My hope and prayer for all of you is to have the same outcome!! I’m so excited for the future!!

Surgeons office called me AGAIN to change my surgery to June 7th. Not happy since I’ve been strict dieting, but at least I’ll lose more weight by surgery. Good luck to all of those getting surgery this month!!!

Why is it rough? I had mine the 11th and I’m doing great. Haven’t used pain meds. Haven’t had much pain either. I walk a lot. The only thing I can say is today it was hard to meet my Protein goal. I was not hungry really. And I burp a lot lol. But gasx helps.

I’m just alittle sore from the incisions. Also it’s really hard to consume the 60oz of liquids, Water is kind of hard to go down. I also can’t meet my Protein goal, the consistency doesn’t sit well. I burp a lot as well lol. How is your liquid diet going? I think I’m struggling more mentally than physically.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
