One Week Tomorrow Since Surgery
This is my first post since joining before my RNY surgery. The pain was, at first, horrendous - far more than I anticipated but, the last 3 days has gotten steadily better. I'm having trouble sleeping in my bed, too. I can't imagine going back to work in a couple of days as one of you has mentioned. So far, so good!
So far so good for me too! I've been up and posting though! 
I've been hungry only in the morning and THIRSTY like the dickens!! YIKES! I've been working on a 28 oz bottle of water this morning and I'm going to be finish with that in no time! I hope that's not too much!
It's really interesting to see the different "protocols" doctors have us on. I was only on a liquid diet the day before my surgery. And was told I would have to remain on a liquid diet until I passed gas and/or had my first BM.
Sleeping is getting better for me. My first night home was rotten. But I'm having a much better time of it now. I can't wait to get to the point where my sleeping is as comfortable as before!

I too had my surgery on the 27th and I have not slept in my bed since. My bed is really high up and I run to the bathroom way to much in the middle of the night. I was afraid of hurting myself getting out of the bed. I think tonight I will try to sleep in the bed. I am trying to get another few days off from work. They want me to go back on 3/19, but I think the extra week would take me to a point where I will be 100% better. I am feeling pretty good right now, but I am so tired of the liquid diet right now. I need to drink more and walk more, but sometimes I don't seem to be able to get all the liquids in.
I'm continuing to improve each day and each night gets just a little better with sleeping. I had my first in town experience today and went to a couple of stores. I was so tired when I returned! The liquid diet thus far has been no problem. My sister returns home tomorrow so, I'll be on my own then!
