Post-OP Feelin Fine "09"

 Just wanted to drop you a line and let you all know I had my gastric bypass on 1/06/09 and I'm feelin really good. I had one slight complication a "Hiatal Hernia" but Dr. Pohl repaired it and continued on with my bypass. I am amazed at how good I felt after surgery and Dr Pohl was too. I am so glad I had Dr. Pohl do my surgery he was great and I would recommend him to anyone.

Now for the hard part trying to get all the liquids down, Any advise?

Lee

congrats, keep up the great work,am glad to hear your feeling so well

 Welcome home Lee!  Just sip, sip. sip.  The first week is always tough trying to do everything.  Don't worry about all the protein and you may not get all the liquids in.  i have been out ten weeks and I still have problems trying to drink what I am suppose to. You will do fine. Keep us posted.

Hi Lee!

Welcome Home!

I remember that first week! Aaaargh! I got my fluids and protein in only by drinking my protein all day long! Uugh!

Just do the best you can do, that's all you CAN do!

Like Karen said "sip, sip, sip"

Glad to hear everything went well.  And like everyone else has said ..... sip, sip, sip.   I struggle everyday to get my fluids in.  I've never been one to drink a lot (unless we are talking martinis) so with my band I struggled and I still do with my RNY.   Some days I make it and some I come up short, but I keep on trying.
