I am home too!

I came home Friday from RNY in Fremont CA. Dr. Dutta was awesome. All went well. I am FULL of gas though. I walk walk and it rumbles rumbles. I feel swollen and like many of you have gained 10lbs. I could not believe it. I am having faith that his will change. I have been to the grocery store and Target. I am doing pretty well with pain. Having trouble getting food in and feel like i am sipping all of the time.

Welcome Home, Get ready for the ride!!!, but for now sip, sip, sip, and walk, most importantly listen to your body!!

Congratulations to you!!! right now, do not worry too much about the food. Just sip, sip, sip, walk, sip, sip, sip, walk...you get the idea. Welcome to the other side!!!

Welcome home Wendy. Hope things just keep on getting better for you. Hugs from The NC Perkette

Hi Wendy!! Welcome home. The weight gain is VERY normal. I gained about 10lbs too when I was in the hospital from the IV fluid that they pumped me with. I also felt bloated until the past couple of days. The more you walk the more gas will leave your system which will help with the bloating. I know it's really hard to get food in right now. Are you on a liquid diet or pureed?

I am still on a liquid one until post op on the 9th. Seems like things that have a sweeter base- jello, pudding, cream of wheat and cottage cheese go down the best. My grandparents made me soup that I "Know" is wonderful but does not taste good right now. I hope it changes. The bloating seems to be going down. I bought a treadmill yesterday. It felt good to buy something like that knowing that I will actually use it. How are you feeling?
