Post RNY Day 2

Day 2 is going well...I am taking my walks, doing my breathing, almost to 60 oz of water, and drinking my protein drinks...tollerating all well. 

I'm trying to taper off the pain med as it really snows me and I don't like that.  But, I've gotten more sleep in the past two days than I have in the past month so maybe that's not a bad thing!  LOL  Truth is, I am not having much pain and what I am having I think is more related to the hernia repair.

Still feeling a bit bloated and would love to be able to really let one rip!!!  From what I've heard, I know that will come.  And yes, Gents, I know not to trust a Fart!

Thanks to all for the encouragement.

Sounds like you're right on track!   I was fishing a week out of surgery.   I remember my first "real" meal after surgery. The Doc cleared me for refired beans.  Lord I thought I dided and went to heaven but after about 2 tablespoons I was stuffed.  That is the first time I realized just how much I liked to eat and this was going to be  a little hard to get used to.  The bennifets quickly out weighed the "joy of eating" though.  You are gonna have a blast the next 6 months to a year.  Wait till you have to actually move the seat "up" in your car!  man that is a rush.  Or you have to buy a new belt because your old one is wrapping around you twice and looks rediculouse!  LOL  Have fun my freind!  Bob

Sounds like everything is going good. I quit my pain meds after day two also. I didn't like the way they made me feel. I was back to work after week one and fishing after week two. Keep up the walking and the bloating will go away. Keep sipping tha****er. I also enjoyed sugar free popcycles.

Sounds like you are right on track.  The bloating takes a while to go away.. But it gets better day by day.
