Topic: 6 days post op update-is this normal??
Hi everyone!
I feel like everytime I talk to my RN about how I am feeling, they tell me I am doing great, but I just don't feel like I am. So I thought I would get your opinion!
I am still having a great deal of pain/uncomfortableness. Alot under my ribcage, both on the R and L sides, I had RNY and a liver biopsy. I feel much better when I take my pain meds consistently, but it sounds like they think I don't need them anymore. I am able to walk, eat, drink, and live much better if I take them.
Eating is horrible for me. I can't eat pureed foods. I can eat stuff that is naturally soft, like cottage cheese and yogurt. And I just tried milk yesterday and that is going done great. But I actually regret having to eat. I don't want to. I would rather keep drinking my fluids.
My days are up and down. Either I start out good, or I start out bad, and then it gets better or worse through out the day. Yesterday was the first day I attempted to leave the house by myself and went to target, which went okay, but I was exhausted by the time I got home.
Thanks for any help or encouragement you can give. Let me know if you guys are feeling the same way, or if I am in my own boat and need to be more insistent with these MDs. Thanks!

Topic: RE: Surgery Date: June 15th
Hi All!
My date also is June 15th. I have known this for a couple of months now, surgery starts at 7:45 a.m.
My physician requires a medifast liquid diet for six weeks preceeding the surgery and a minimum weight loss of 10% of your starting weight on first visit. I would really like to set up a group of us to support one another. What do you think? Since I am new here is there anyone out there that can do this?
