Topic: RE: Surgery date 8/29 ...
How are you doing? I had my rny on 8/29 as well. I was feeling pretty good & then found out (the hard way) that I am lactose intolerant. I thought the first time was a fluke; so I tried milk in something else ..... yea ... bad call lol. All in all not to bad tho ... I may even go back to school on Thurs.

I was really hurting last night. I think that it was just the gas/air trying to excape because most of the pain was in my back. Today has been much better and I have been walking some. Ready to be able to laugh without having to hold my belly!
Mom to four, Nana to One, who is READY to be a thiner, healthier one!
Topic: Surgery on 08/22
I had my RNY revision on the 22nd. Everything went great. Surprisingly, I didn't require as much Morphine as I thought I would. Excruciating back pain, dehydrated beyond belief, but all in all it went very well and the great nursing staff made it a great stay. I've been told to expect slow weight loss, but every little bit helps. Gotta remember to get the protein in. I am so sick of clear liquids, I could just about gag haha! I think my body is rejecting them, especially chicken broth.

Yes please join us....I am still in the hospital today but should be released later today....I am soooo ready to go. I had a lot of pain following surgery and yesterday the gas pains brought me to tears, but I am feeling so much better today. I am still sore but I have no trouble getting up to use the restroom or getting up every few hours to walk the halls. I hear over and over again how walking makes such a huge and positive difference in recovery. I am also using my spirometer every hour or so....I am determined to go home today!!!! I miss my kids and husband. Best wishes everyone!!!! Wishing you all a speedy recovery.

Do you want a 5th surgery buddy? My date is August 31st. We could call ourselves the Late Augustine's or whatever works. I'm not on the boards all day but would love to pop in and see how you are all doing.

Well it gets better by the day! I only have discomfort now- the liquids are trying but you aren't hungry! And have dropped off 5 pounds already! You will live this once the pain goes away! Cheryl

Hiya,
I'm home from hospital, and I know what you mean about PAIN. Oh my goodness, it hurts so badly. I really didnt know about the pain that could come days after the surgery. I might have had second thoughts if I had known.
Well, I'm glad you did not have some much pain this time. Yes, let the weight loss begin! :)
