RNY 3/11/14 feeling awful??
I had RNY 5 days ago as well as a hiatal hernia repair. I am still feeling cramp, gassy and it is uncomfortable to take a deep breath. I also feel like I am starving!!! Is that normal? I feel very weak like a truck ran over me. I am feeling very alone and regretful of this surgery. I am hoping to find others who have had this surgery around the same time as me to talk to. I'd like to know how others are feeling at this point! I appreciate any response.
I am 11 days out... It gets better everyday...My first 6 days were crappy.. I don't feel hungry ever, just wanted something solid. I realized I was lactose intolerant all of the sudden... So my hubby got me lactaid milk and that is much better for my gassy stomach. I walked around the house a million laps to help with the gas
I started a couple of tablespoons of yogurt and 1/4 cup of puréed soup yesterday.
I had my surgery on March 25 and feel like I'm starving for regular food. So that is not abnormal, I am assuming. Also about the breathing, you should have been given an instrument to strengthen your lungs while you were in the hospital and should have been instructed to continue to use it at home. As far as feeling like a mack truck ran over you, I feel that at different times in a day. I have my up and down moments with all of this. But, I certainly do not regret doing this for my life. It wont bel like this always. You have better days ahead of you. Many people have said to me that," this is the easy way of weight loss surgery." They have no clue, easy is the last thing. A gas reliever should help with that but then again that is normal as well. I am here if ya need but ,I had my surgery after you!
I had my RNY on 3/14/14 an the first day I was sore but I also had one of those breathing devises that was previously mentioned. I am back to work which keeps me on my feet a lot, an I bought a fitbit an track my walking for my 10,000 steps a day. I was given advice from my sister (who had the sleeve an gained it back) an two others who had the RNY an that was to follow all the rules the doctor gives you, an so far so good! I'm not hungry but it's definitely a mind thing!
