2 days home from the hospital!!

I had the rny done on 8/22 - the doc said that everything went fine, no complications - Thursday they did the swallow test, again all is good.. Friday they pulled out all the tubes and hoses and let me go home! I read in Marianne's post that she's walking 1 mile a day - (or was it 2?) That's AWESOME! I'm not ready for that yet.. it still hurts to stand up, sit down, etc so I'm moving more slowly still. I'm having no problem w/my protein drinks - I"m drinking muscle milk light vanilla w/nonfat milk, taking a liquid multivitamin, so far everything is agreeing - although burping is a bit painful. I go back in 3 weeks for a follow up.. they told me until then, don't lift anything heavier than a phone receiver and don't sweat! I spent the first and 2nd day in the hospital wondering what I had done to myself and was all the pain worth it. (pretty rough couple of days) - however I woke up today feeling even better than i did yesterday, I thought i'd get on the scale just to see what's been going on.. i'm down 19 lbs! 19lbs in 4 days? i'll take it, i know it won't always be that way but it's a motivating beginning!

Wow you are doing wonderful, glad to hear you had a good surgery and are recovering well. I hope I do as good as you have. Again Congrats!!! Hugs Donna S FT. Stewart GA

You will feel better ever day that passes. I had Gastric Bypass on 05-31-2007 and after 2wk I felt better. I thought I could go grocerey shopping by myself boy was I wrong. I pushed the shopping cart and I was paying the price that night I had alot of pain like if I just had surgery. So I recommend you take it slow. It took my about 5 days to feel better. Its almost been 3 months since my surgery I had lost 50 pounds and loving it. Good Luck on your weight lost.
