I am taking 2 pepsid-20
lovenox injections-1 per day for 10 days
liquid lortab-1 tbsp. every 6 hours for pain, and baby it works!
2 baby aspirin
plus my cymbalta,izmo, coreg.
I am off of my BP meds, insulin, vytorin, lyica, nexium, and albuterol
I am just thrilled about that.
I am not to start my vitamins, calcium citrate till next week.
Does anyone know what we can take for constipation? Can we take ducalax or something like that ? It is a little pill.

I had RNY on Monday. My stomach is huge looking too. I have been having all kinds of rumblings in my stomach and intestines as well as diarrhea since Wednesday. I have not been having any back pain. My understanding is that this is all normal.

OMG I thought those rumblings were so embarassing... and I could have sworn an alien was going to jump out of my stomach. Heheh!
But seriously, I am so bloated that it's insane. I can't wear most of the pants I own, Even my favorites are too tight. I am wondering how long the bloating will last... because you would think with losing 13 lbs my pants would fit better not worse.
Meet the Surgeon Aug 1, 2011 .... hopefully the surgeons office is right and everything will go fast and I'll have surgery later this month.

Topic: Anyone else having....
Okay, so the scale claims I've lost ten pounds this week since my RNY. However, my stomach seems HUGE to me and so very bloated. Does anyone else feel this too? Is it simply a result of the swelling inside and stuff healing? Honest to God I look like I'm about 8 months pregnant and I can't "suck it in" because it hurts to do so.
I also now have the LOUDEST gut rumblings I've ever heard. It sounds like some alien being is about to be hatched from my stomach. Is this normal and will it go away? It's very embarassing!
I am also having back pain that I think is actually from overcompensating for the pain in my tummy when I move and/or walk. But, I obviously can not lay on my stomach for a decent massage. Any suggestions?
Okay.. that's it for me. Just want to make sure I"m not alone!

Topic: RE: What drugs are you taking?
Okay, so I was worried and checked. lol
The Ursodol will start on day 11 crushed until six weeks, then tablet until 6 months
I start Vitamin D2 post-op one a week for 12 weeks. Not sure when "post-op" starts. I'll have to find out.
I also just discovered that my Pepcid (I have the generic form) is supposed to be 20 mg and mine is only 10 mg. Better get that corrected, eh? I so suck at medications.
