Im home

Well I was having a lot of poroblems keeping food down while I was in the hospital. I had open RNY and boy is the pain no joke. I got so gassy and was held in the hospital for an extra day and finally was able to have a bm. while in the hosptial, there was a lot of vomiting. broth is my enemy. I am now a week out and still bloated and swollen but feeling a lot better. I cannot wait to get off the clear liquid diet...My family ont mean to do it but they have been eating chinese food infront of me and lots of rice...I dont really like rice but was craving it wen I saw and smelled it.

I hope you're feeling better soon!  I'm sure you will be - each day will get a little better, so I'm told.  I haven't had my surgery yet.

Maybe you should mention to your family that you're not comfortable with them eating in front of you.  Just a thought.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I hope you feel, better soon.  It's different when you are open.  JUST PRAY AND ASK GOD, TO UPLIFT YOU.  It's worthy, just hit me up, when you need courage. 

Hope you feel better soon......It is hard to see other people eat when your on liquids it gets better.I had my surgery on the Jan 2nd.Everyone says they feel bad for eating in front of me but you know what I did this I choice to so I can't be upset if they want to eat!

Glad your home hope you get to feeling better soon.. Tell your family to eat in the other room!!  My husband started to eat in front of me once during my liquid diet pre op and I gave him that LOOK, you know the one girlfriend.. give your family that look.. My hubby now eats in the other room far far away LOL..

Oh hun, thats awful I hope you feel better soon. I can only imagine your pain. Ihaven't had my surgery. But Its lap not open on the 27th is my big day. Can I ask if you don't mind why they did open and not lap? Feel better soon....and tell your family they need to stop doing that cause even though there not trying to be mean that still sucks and big!

I chose to do open becasue of my surgon he has his own patent on the type of surgery that he does and I wanted something that wasnt going to stretch in a couple of years.

Tell me about it!  Yes, I chose this, but it doesn't make it any easier.  HOWEVER, when I get on the scale, I know it's all been worth it.  Might as well face it now and be able to turn it down later.  My mom is coming over on Wed. to help me out.  She's bringing doughnuts, gobs and no doubt chips for my hubby and the kids.  I figure, they can enjoy it for now, but they are going on the healthy road right with me as soon as I am able to take care of my kids myself.  My children will live by example.    So, I feel your pain!  But it will get better as soon as we are allowed a soft diet.  Lots of prayers and love, Bobbi.
