Hey, I noticed your surgery is Tuesday and I wanted to wish you well. I had RNY a week ago this Tuesday. I'm sure you'll do great and would love to hear how your doing later in the week.

Hapy Memorial Day and congratulations! Your day has finally arrived. I noticed someone else said to take your pain meds before the pain gets bad and to walk as much as you can. I'll second that comment. My surgery as you know was the 19th. I used the pain meds in the hospital when I started feeling a little pain and believe it or not, I ended up not using as much as some of my other friends. I also got up and walked as soon as they said I could and everyday I've been home I've been up and walking. It really does help! Will be thinking of you Monday and hope to hear from you soon.

Topic: RE: home / now 5 days out
I had surgery on May 18th as well, LAP RNY w/ no complications. I also came home on Wednesday, felt tired and rested mostly the first day. Thursday went well, I felt pretty good so I think I over did it on Friday so today was a bit pain painful. Only time I took pain meds was at night on the day I came home, and have been takin Tylenol at night just to keep bed time more comfortable. I try to walk a few times a day. I am not eating a whole lot either besides s/f Jell-O and s/f Popsicles. I tried broth today but it wasn't satisfying. I am looking forward to the next step of the diet, and have something with a little more consistency such as strain cream soup and rice. I am defiantly over the tasteless food. lol
I hope you get to feeling better, try walkin as much as you can, it makes me feel much better. Good luck and keep in touch and let me know how you are going.

Topic: RE: home / now 5 days out
HI & congrats!
I was in the hospital a full 5 days, but when I came home I felt pretty good. I also have open RNY. I ate the thinned oatmeal, s/f jello and protein shakes mostly in VERY small amounts. I wasn't in too much pain and only took pain meds as needed (mostly just at bed time for the first few days at home). I am now about 18 days out and feel sooooo much better!

I'm a week and a half out and supposed to start "soft" food tomorrow. So it will be my puraided foods and I can add things like white fish and imitation crab, I need to look in my binder and see what else is "soft" as apposed to purraided. Right now I am eatting chili, some chicken, turkey, green beans sweet potato's, peaches, apple sauce and cottage cheese.

Taking my pain med /percocet 5/325/ 1 every three hours. Doing o****il the 2hr30min mark start with lots of pain. Able to do bare min. did get up for short walk today. Not eating much, skim milk, popsicles, jello,and lots of water. Just wondering how others in this phase are doing. God bless everyone.
