Hello Jennifer, glad you are home and recovering, hope you get alot of rest. I hope you have nothing but days that get better and better!! Shay

Hi Jennifer...Congratulations! I had my surgery on 9/8/06, one week ago today. I came home on Monday. I haven't had any pain, but the gas thing is something else! Who knew there could be that much air up in there? I had a RNY done laparoscopically, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I have been eating pureed and soft foods.... fat-free cottage cheese, applesauce, scrambled eggs, sugar-free/fat-free pudding, mashed sweet potato...that's about it so far. I think I might try some tomato soup later today. I have to go back to work part-time on Monday, and full-time the following week...what about you? Take care. Sheri

Wow - food - I am three days post op and still on liquids. I am going back to work on Monday too but plan to take it easy. This is one time I am glad I have a desk job.
