RNY on 11-10-09
I had RNY surgery on the 10th. Can't believe that it was almost a week ago. I still have quite a bit of pain, but am remembering all that I have learned here on the Men's board. CHEW, CHEW, CHEW; SIP, SIP, SIP; and NEVER TRUST A FART! That last one was a surprise to me. I can't believe how many times I have had to quit what I was doing to run to the bathroom for diarreah. Blech! If I trust my home scale, I am down 18 pounds from a week ago.
Whelp, I am grateful to be joining you all on the loser's bench.

I have to agree with Duane. The first month is the toughest. We look forward to reading about your progress.

Great to read your progress thus far! I know they promised that we would be up and running in no time - I just never imagined this kind of running.
I would have thought constipation
was more likely to become a problem - since getting fluid is hard in the beginning - now I might have to rethink that ...
Incredible how much weight many men loose the first weeks post-op!
