I had lap RNY on Friday the 13th. Everything went great. The only problem I had was with the morphine I got for the pain. It gave me the worst headache ever. Since the pain was tolerable, I did not use the pain pump any more and I felt good after that.

My surgeon said that my diabetes was under control and I did not need to continue my diabetes or cholesterol medicines. That is the best news I could have possibly gotten. It made the surgery so worth it. Also, I now weigh 198 lbs ( am so thrilled to weigh less than 200 lbs.). I am to follow a clear liquids diet until my next appointment in a couple of days, but that is OK, because I absolutely do not feel hungry. I think the hunger button in my brain was turned off or something.

I still can not believe how fast I recuperated from major surgery. I absolutely feel good.

I hope everyone else is doing well. Wish me luck on the rest of my journey.

Welcome home! I'm so happy to hear your surgery went smoothly. Congrats on getting below 200...that is such a big deal (for me). When I hit that mark everyone on OH will know it, lol. Keep up the great work and welcome to the loser's bench!
