One Week Out - REPOST from Main Board

Hello, my AMOS family - All in all my lap RNY went well. The first 48 hrs were very tough, but thanks to the advice here I did indeed walk at every opportunity. I also used the deep breathing practice "toy" a lot - I really needed it. Every day is better, I take a less pain meds every day. I definitely am not on the "Wow, did I have surgery?" bus or the "Never took a pain med once I got home" bus, but it is doable and getting better all the time. Am managing to get my water in, and most of my protein. I am grateful for all the good advice regarding how to get up on your left side, to walk, walk, walk, and so much more. I have missed being on the boards. Just wanted to say "Hello, from the losing side", and let you know I came through it well. Nighty night.
