GOD is good!!5 days Post-op

I have lost seven lbs. I am still quite sore and I have bouts with gas and have this unbearable cough which will not allow me to sleep though the night. I had the open RNY procedure and everyone says it takes a little longer to heal with an open RNY. My body is completely adjusting to this new lifestyle. My skin is going through a transition period and I feel like I am going through a flushing cleansing. I am amazed that I am not hungry and that I have to make myself drink my fluids. Thank you for your prayers and support. I welcome any advice about this cough, gas and soreness.

I had open RNY Dec. 7th. Each day will get better! I'm still sore also. Isn't it great we aren't hungry! Keep walking and that will help you with the gas and soreness. Walk several times a day to get a minimun of 30 minutes of activity each day. I started out walking 10 minutes around the house 3 times a day, now I try to go outside and walk 20 minutes, twice a day. I have lost 14 lbs. so far. Keep up the good work! God Bless You...Rose

Congratulations on your weigh loss. I was happy to hear that you made it through surgery and was home in no time. God is so good! I had a minor set back but I will be rescheduling my surgery real soon. You hang in there and please keep me posted. Georgeann
