New to this board
I had the DS on 10/30/07, and thought it might be nice to be on this board with others that had surgery around the same time as me. I know we have all had different types of surgery, but a lot of the issues are still the same. I'm doing really well...I had my first post op last friday and all was right on track...I'm off of puree food and onto softer foods right now.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.
Hi there. I had proximal RNY on 10-26-07 and had my first 2-week post op appointments yesterday. Seems like a lot of people have them at 1-week, but my surgeon does 2-week, 3-month, 6-month, and yearly after that unless I feel like I need to be seen between them. I'm doing really well, too. Have felt great since I can home the day after surgery and only took my pain meds that one night, then Tylenol for two days and nothing since. I got to start soft foods and pureed meats as of last night. So far I've tried cotttage cheese with a spoon of spaghetti sauce and a tiny sprinkling of fat-free mozzarella cheese on it - yummy!! - and a scrambled egg this morning. Pouchy did well with both, so I'm a happy girl today!!
I hope you keep doing well. This is a pretty exciting time right now getting started on real foods and progressing onto the next steps!
Welcome Kerry,
I had an RNY on October 22. I too am very pleased with my progress. I have just started meats. Nothing has bothered me thus far.
Feel free to ask questions, discuss issues, we are all in this together.
Do you have a support group in your area? The group I have joined meets every other Saturday or the day before someone is to have surgery, they are true blessing to me. I think that is the best advice I could give, join a local support group.
Blessings,
Angel
