Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I am doing great healing up fine! I am having a little trouble getting all my fluids in but I am getting most of them in.

My hospital stay was very nice. I have no complaints! I recieved my pain medicine when I wanted it. The nurses were very nice and very caring! I had my catheder in until the day I left (due to low output). I am not using my pain medicine hardly. I have been home since yesterday afternoon and only used it twice. I am up walking and sipping. I have tried some soup and that was pretty darn good! I have about 4 ozs of protein drinks for meals and try to sip my SF CIB for in between. It's hard because mt tummy makes some funky sounds and I am not sure if it's because I am full or because of the gas.

I am however very tired so I am going back to bed! Thank you again!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!

It sounds like you are doing wonderful. My pouch talked to me for a couple of months i do get some noise now but not as much or maybe i am use to it. Sip sip sip that is all you can do .
it does get better as time goes on but right now the big thing is to get fluids in.

Take care

Welcome to the loser's bench! Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.

Good to hear from you J!!!

We're glad to know you are home, safe-and-sound, and resting comfortably! I remember when I had my surgery, I thought two weeks off was gonna seem like forever, but, it passed all to quickly!!! Relax, and enjoy the quiet while you have it! Because afterward, it's back to the gym for you!!!

Check in, when your energy level permits!

Glad to hear you are doing well. My RNY was on 4/27/11. I had no complications but the first 4 days were pretty hard! I was very weak and shaky and lots of gas. Im feeling great now and I am even eating regular (not gorund up) chicken, fish, a bit of pasta, etc. I do get tired though by the end of my workday! I went back to work full time at 2 weeks.

Take care!
