Topic: my gastric bypass RNY experience 7 months out with minor complication but?

My weight before surgery is 415lbs.  I am currently 256lbs.  I can't seem to pass 250lbs.  Although I am still striving to get there.

Now, with my complication.  I have been dehydrated and low on potassium my first two months out from surgery.  After I started feeling some tingling/numbness from waiste on down.  I was low on potassium, and probably B12.  I have seen my surgeon who said it will pass, and sports medicine *****ferred me to neurologist.  Neurologist did some testing and realize that everything was okay expect the response below my knee didn't seem normal.

Now, I can only feel the tingling/numbness below my knee area, but there are times I feel that its getting better.  But if I step on a little pebble...it hurts my feet.  Also, there are times I feel uncoordinated.

My hair is falling out, but its a good thing I have thick hair.  I read some forum that it will eventually pass.  I hope so....I'm getting to be paranoid.

I read about the fish jerkey.  That sounds so good for some source of protein.  I had to drink this nasty protein syrup from the surgeon.  I took it twice and its still sitting on my shelf.  That thing is too nasty but I need to start taking it I guess.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.  Aloha and God bless.

Topic: RE: RNY...recovery period?
I took one week off and went back to work the following week.  I have a desk job so it went ok.  If I had to do it again I would have taken a full 2 weeks off.  I wasn't in any pain.  Actually, I really had no pain after the surgery.  I never even took the pain meds.  I was just tired and really didn't feel myself the 2nd week. 

Good Luck

i took 2 wks out bcuz i knew i was gonna need that time to be myself when i was on liquids bcuz my co-workers always eat potlucks and i wasnt ready to deal with that.  but i felt better about a wk after surgery..the first 4 days was the hardest with the gas pains and just being exhausted.  but other than the that the recovery went well. good luck
