9 days out

I have been getting emails asking how things are going and the pain issue so hear goes. I am 9 days out and the pain is nearly nothing. If my drain was out I dont think I would have much pain. I do beleive it is causing more pain at this point then the incision. Open RNY. I am sipping water. I found the sippy cup didnt work so well for me so I have been using a teaspoon. works fine. I can drink about 5 to 6 teaspiin then I feel a pressure iwhere my pouch is. The other thing I have noticed is that when I am full I will do this small bulching type think, that is definately time to stop drinking water I am drinking. And wait about 10 minuetes. when I drink a soup or pudding, I wait about 3o minutes as suggestion before anymore drinking. Seems as if I am eating and or drinking all the time. Any questions email me. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Good luck to everyone and have a nice day. love marie
