Topic: RE: When can you take a shower

Hi

I took a great shower before I went home... I am glad I did because after my 1 1/2 drive home I needed to rest on the pain meds.

PS I felt safe in the hospital where help was there for me if needed.

Topic: My surgery is May 20th! YIKES and YIPPEE at the same time!

This is only the second time I have posted anything on OH, but I know I am going to be doing a lot more of it after Wednesday! I have been a lurker since I joined OH and have learned so much from all I have read on here. I am SUPER EXCITED for Wednesday and I think hubby is getting there too. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself...finally...lol! Good luck to all of you as you start your SWL journey this month! I will say a prayer for ya!

Topic: RE: Callorie intake post op

Wow, I know on my 1st week I have no calories they want me to stick with it just needs to be clear liquids they want me to try to get 70g protein and 48 oz of water. Weeks, 2,3 and 4 I am on full liquids and puree (puree is 1/4 cup for the 3 meals a day) and protein increased to 90 g and 64 oz of water. Weeks 5, 6, 7 and 8 I move into Soft and 1/2 cup 3 meals a day. Week 9 I go to Normal 3 meals a day and 3/4 cups.

It is amazing how difference all the different programs are from each other.

Hi everyone! I have done some reading on this board and it's so nice to be amongst others who are preparing for surgery too! I am scheduled to have the RNY on May 27th and I can't wait! I had the band to begin with but had to get it removed in March. Now I am taking a different path and praying it's the right one this time.

God bless and see you on the losing side!!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I also had RNY with Advanced Lap Surgeons. Dr Bertha performed my surgery but I was seen in the hospital by Dr Garrison. He is the best! Omg I fell in love with this man! Good luck to you and let me know if I can help you out in any way. I am not too far away from you in NJ.

I had my surgery on May 14th. Feeling great. Sometimes, I can tell that I am not getting enough liquid even though I am living with a bottle of water by my side. My kidneys start to ache. Weird but I guess it is just my body telling me to fix it. But other than that I am doing well.
