How's all us Week 3's doing?????

I had open RNY micro pouch on the 19th. All went well and I was home on Saturday. I feel pretty good (considering I just had major surgery) I'm taking my Lortab every six hours and doing good. Just a lot of walking and sipping, burping and finally today FARTING!!!! (never thought I'd be glad about that) How's everyone else doing?????????????????????????????????

I had my surgery last Monday and am glad my first week is up. Never thought I would be so excited to finally have cream soup I am able to drink my 64 oz of fluid and have been getting outside to walk 30 minutes a day. My gas is better though. So I guess I am doing well!!! Deri

HEYA! I am doing much better too...I use my pain liquid JUST before I go to bed to help me sleep...but have been to the movies, the mall and cooked for the babies all but one night...I am SO happy to be FARTING and my burping is slowing down! Did ya'll get a corsett thing to wear? I have read some have...but not me ??? Glad to hear ya'll are doing good too...I am on liquids until Tuesday when I see my doc...but CANT WAIT!!! love ya, t

I had surgery on the 17th got outta the hospital on that thursday.........feeling pretty awesome except all the gas I am having. I also have this drain and it hurts a lil when I have to empty it. Will be glad to see the Doctor on friday. glad everyone else is doing great too.

Doing well here also! Pain is almost gone, however I am still slow to get up and all - just really that lower left incision is bothering me - but no more pain meds since Friday early AM. I must say though I am so bored of this liquid phase. I have to be on full liquids until this Friday when I see my surgeon for my 1 week post-op and I can't wait. It's not at all that I am hungry or anything - I honestly haven't felt "hunger" since surgery - but my throat is almost starting to hurt from eating all this nothing really. The idea of of a little piece of cheese or ANYTHING with substance feels like a dream. Hopefully Friday won't take that long to get here. My protein shakes are getting harder and harder to get down - which is horrible because I know how much I need them. What is everyone doing to keep busy? I am 24 and single and just missing my corporate job SO much!!! Glad to here everyone is doing so well - keep up the good work guys!!

Danielle - I'm with you honey. I'm sick of clear liquids!!!!!! I go to the surgeon on Friday as well. I'm hoping to get out my jp drain out!!

Had mine on Wed. I'm burping farting, siipping and walking, although it is very smoggy and hot here in South CA. Enjoy a good shower. I had the Lap Band, so it's a tad easier to recover from, but still very sore. Lortab before naps and bed. Barb in CA

hi, just wanted you to know that I am doing fine also.I had my surgery on May 9th and it is so strange that I am not physcially hungry.I see everyone eating but it doesnt bother me.Any ideas on how to make the protein shakes taste better.I have had some solid food ex: eggs,cheese and black beans but the protein shakes definately have the most protein.Keep up the good work, this was definately the best thing I could have done for myself.
