5 Days Post-Op

Hey Everyone !! I had my surgery June 1, 2005. I am doing pretty good so far. No complications to date AFTER surgery. The pain is not as bad as I thought it would be. It is quite tolerable. I am still on Liquids and doing pretty good with that. I have found that if I mix the protein drink with some Crystal Light it taste better. I have my 1 week check up with Dr Houston June 9,2005. What a wonderful doctor he is. I am so glad that he and Holly have come into my life. I finally for the first time slept in the and it felt so good to actually get some rest for a change. A friend of ours is having a July 4th party and is making her famous potato salad. She told me I was only allowed 1 bite of it I just LOVE her potato salad. But then again look at the starches and weight it would put on me by eating what I wanted lol

Cheri, i too had surgery on the first and you sound like me except im not allowed to add the protein into my drinks till the 1 week post op appointment which i will go tomorrow for. I too got my best sleep to date last night! BEST wishes for a great recovery! LOVE LISA

Congrats on your recent surgery! Did you have open or lap? I am having open RNY this Friday!

Me, too. No pain. Am able to tolerate all the liquod but hate taking the medicine I need ground up, it overpowers everything but is essential. Ugh. I am having trouble knowing weather or not air is coming out when I have to fart. It is very inconvenient and I hear it may last awhile. Don't mean to be gross but that is my biggest issue so far. I takes what little energy I have away.
