Six weeks out you will be on regular foods. Until then follow your instructions very carefully. Buy yourelf a foam wedge and sleep on it on your back after surgery, it really helps. You can get them at doctor supply stores/places that sell medical supplies. Plan to spend time recuperating, but six weeks later you should be well into your new life! Good luck!

By six weeks out you should hardly even know you had surgery! I had my first fill at four weeks but I could still eat pretty much anything I wanted (and as much of it as I wanted) at six weeks. You should be fine for the wedding! Grats on your surgery and good luck.

      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! 😞
