2 weeks post-op

Hey ladies,

just wanted to stop and say hello. I've been so tired lately and sleeping so much. I'm 2 weeks post RNY, and so far I'm down 15lbs from the morning of my surgery. I still can't stomach anything other than broth, water, skim milk and sugar free popsicles. The pain in my shoulders and neck seem to be going away slowly and everyday is better. I was very emotional the first week, but have been normal the rest of the time, just exhausted. I've been doing light duties around the house, my girls help with heavier stuff. I'm gonna try driving either today or tomorrow and I've determined that I need a new bra before I go back to work next week. All my close still fit the same, everyone sais I look smaller but my pants fit the same as they did before...a little discouraging..might still be swollen maybe??  Gonna plan a spa day before I go back and get my hair cut and colored, a pedicure and maybe a sitting massage if they can accomodate me.

\the only pain I still have from my surgery other than my dissapearing shoulder and neck pain is a numbing pain in my stomach but it isn't always there, I think its just a stretching going on, I had the same thing from my hernia repair last year. all my insicions are healing nicely and one you can't even see anymore. I'm looking forward to see My Dr. next week to see what he sais. I think I'm doing great so far and I am letting body do its thing and adjust to mw new pouch!! I love it so far and do not regret having surgery at all.

Hugs to all
Chrissy

That's great that you are feeling "normal" besides being a little tired. I don't regret my surgery at all! Yes, some days are harder than others.

You are most definately still swollen and it will take a bit for it to go down. And I lost a lot in my stomach for the first little bit and now it is kind of every where.
