Update---Home from the Hospital

I had my RNY on Wed Sept 16th. Everything went well.  I was surprised I don't have any pain at all. Dr. Wynn is the best!! The hospital staff at Christiana is first rate. Now I guess the rest is up to me. I came home Fri morning and sipped on a bottle of water all day and didn't fini**** all.  How in the world am I gonna get in all my fluids?? I'm not feeling hungry.

Take care,

Vonda

Congratulations on your surgery!

The Drs and the hospital are the best!

Just take a sip at a time and you'll do great, remember this surgery is a tool and not a cure all and you'll be fine.

Good luck!

Hi Vonda,
I was at Christiana and had surgery the same day with Dr. Irgau. They are the best, and I feel like you. I'm trying to get my fluids in but it does seem hard. I have a little pain when I take a deep breath, but nothing that I can't handle.
I'm not really feeling that hungry either, but I did manage to get down maybe 4oz of the health wise chicken broth soup from Chrias. It didn't taste that bad and has 15 grams of protein.

I just wanted to know how long we need to sip. I gonna have to reread some info.

Congratulations to you both !!!! 

 Congrats to you both. Chrias is an amazing practice. 

Just keep at the sipping it will come with time. 

I had my sx on 7/28/09.. so I am two months out... and I thought the same thing.. how am I going to get my fluids in.... it will get easier.  I had Dr. Wynn as my surgeon, and she was great... Dr. Peters came in early most mornings and he was awsome... and the staff.. again first rate.  I had a wonderful experience.. and no pain...

just take things slowly... don't hurry it.. and it time you will do great...  32.lbs down in two months.. unbelievable... 

take care..
