 So I had my RNY on Wed. 3 day ago.  I guess I'm doing fine but don't really know.  It seems everything is subjective with WLS.  You decide for yourself.
1.   Urine output is good
2.   I do pass gas
3.   Have had 2 BM's
4.   Am not running any fever
5.   Can sleep in my own bed
6.   Have been walking but not as much as I thought that I would have
7.   I have to make myself eat
8.   I have to make myself drink
9.   I almost constantly feel nauseous but have not thrown up
10. Don't really have much pain
11. I feel like I'm getting over a bad case of intestinal flu
12. I'm trying to get in all my protein, vitamins, and supplements

How was it for you guys?  Did you feel like this at first?

1.   Urine output is good  Beats the hell out of a catheter!
2.   I do pass gas  Good deal!  More the merrier!
3.   Have had 2 BM's  Very good.  Long as they were not in your BVD's.
4.   Am not running any fever  Excellent!
5.   Can sleep in my own bed      "   
6.   Have been walking but not as much as I thought that I would have  Give it time.  You're less than a week out so don't push too hard.
7.   I have to make myself eat  That is why you have to "eat by the clock" since your gizzard is not able to talk to your brain.
8.   I have to make myself drink  Same thing as eating.  Sip, sip, sip - every 15 minutes
9.   I almost constantly feel nauseous but have not thrown up  Part of it. 
10. Don't really have much pain  Shhhhhhhhh!  They'll take away your pain meds if you say that! 
11. I feel like I'm getting over a bad case of intestinal flu  Again part of it.
12. I'm trying to get in all my protein, vitamins, and supplements  Don't kick yourself in your ass if you are not able to for a while.  Let your bod heal from the surgery and increase your intake when you feel put to it!

Welcome to the Loser's Bench and follow the directions below!

Hey Duane,

Don't worry you will feel better soon.  Don't go back to work to soon.  Work the program and sip your fluids.  Protein drinks are your friend.  The weight will be flying off of you in no time.  Keep your eyes on the prize!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're on your way... Recovery takes a little time.. If you're up and walking around and as long as everything is in working order thats GOOD... PASSING GASSSSSSSSSSSSSS is a good thing.
The bad feelings will go away.... Take it easy..
