One week ago today!!!!

One week ago this morning I had my surgery. I had open RNY. It went better than I thought it would & was only in the hospital for 2 days. My family has been great. I am getting this food thing figured out--- 6 small meals a days. My Dr. off ice said to spread my wings & try everything!! So I have had some good foods already & are going down fine. I have not been sick,or dumped. I finally had a BM, I coughed & sneezed too!! I walk outside everyday. My mom came to stay with me for 2 days. It was great-- she cooked,cleaned & took care of me!! We even did a little shopping, picked my daughter up at daycare & I gave her a haircut!! So, I have been active---- feeling really good!! I know-- don't over do it!! I won't. Today I have the house to my self & I 'm going to relax & watch some movies!! I am only taking 2 weeks off & when I get these staples out- I'll be back to work!!! My incision is HUGE -- about 16 inches long!! I acutally quit taking pain meds a couple days ago--- they are gross & I have tried everything to get them down.... YUCK!! I feel great- so I guess NO pain!! Well, just wanted to update everyone & say hi!! Keep your comments & helpfull hints coming!!!!! Love to ya all- Sheri (oh yeah!!! & I'm down a few pounds too!!)

Sheri It is so good to see that you are up and moving. I'm so happy to hear that all is good. You were in my prayers. Just think, as you shrink - your incision will shrink. Yeah!! Just think YOU R A LOSER!! Good Luck. Kelly

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope you are still doing well. It sounds like all is GOOD!

Hi Sheri Congrats to you on your surgery. Sounds like you are doing well. I am just doing some research on the rny and looking for a surgeon is SD. I was wondering why you hade open RNY? Does Dr. Harris perform it laproscopically? Thanks for any info. Blueeyes
