hopeful,

It is understandable to be worried, I was; and I have had a few more surgeries than I wanted. From what I have been told by my doc is that the higher you BMI the more likely you will have a fatty liver. My liver shrink diet was 2 weeks and not really to bad, I have an off center lifestyle that has me in a bar 5 nights a week, menu chocie is limited. Since I could have veggies and lean meat, I would get a garden salad with chicken and be very careful of the amount that I ate. I was happy to "drink" dinner but not every place would let me bring in outside food or drink. My doc said my liver looked good, I had lost about 15lbs. in the two weeks. I did fine in recovery, as soon as my eyes opened they were there with ice chips and talking to me. When got to my room, I was able to get in the chair without aid within 30 minutes, and continued the ice chips until they ran the GI

test which went fine. I had juice when I went back to the room, for dinner I was on full liquids. My doc put in place a medication delivery system called On-Q, this was in until my second day home. I slept on my side the first night, went home and didn't get the script filled for pain. I went out that night and every night without problems. I didn't need any other pain meds. The gas kicked in the second night but walking eased it and it stayed with me about a week and a half. I have had no problems from the surgery and I know it's only been just shy of a month but all has been good. I had an issue with a hardboiled egg, but I learned to slow down when eating real quick. You will do just great and try not to worry to much. I am down from a 22 to a 16 jean :welldoneclap:

      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! 😞
