Welcome!  And it is great to have you here.  I had RNY on 10/27.  Feeling pretty good so far.  I am a little concerned about swelling, do you know when it goes down?

Acutally Jeanne, I am wondering about the swelling also. My tummy still has swollen areas all around where the trocars were inserted and it is very bruised and quite sore. I can see the fluid in the tissue tho. I am craving meat! How about you? I want ham and cheese badly!

Donna

Cheese - like you would not believe.  I am on full liquids now and had mashed potatoes for dinner, I put cheese in it and it felt almost sinful.  I love cheese.  My CNA called today and I asked about the swelling.  She said it will go down daily.  But to keep walking, it helps, she says. 

I need to walk more definately.  I am going to start tomorrow. 

Hugs,
Jeanne
