One week out!
Well, I had my RNY last Monday. They said the surgery took 1.5 hrs but I was in recovery 3 hrs. Pre-op, I asked Dr. Baker to talk to me as he operated, telling me positive things like how good I would feel and how fast I would heal.
I think it worked. I was released a day later (Tuesday the 14th). It has been one week today and I have not thrown up at all. Everything is going down great. I did have a bit of a stumble on the 15th because I overdid the walking (I felt so GOOD) and was having trouble getting ALL my meals and liquids in because I got too full too fast (then found out this is normal so I took it easy). I had to take some Milk of Magnesia Thursday to help me have a BM (as it had been 5 days since I'd had one).
Now everything's working fine. I'm able to get more food and fluids in, and yesterday I experienced my first little hunger pang. My incisions are healing perfectly.
Don't know my weight today but I feel fantastic and wanted to share.
