Surgery went well!
My revision went well and was done by Dr. Duncan here in Atlanta. I had a RNY to RNY with lengthening my roux limb. I was discharged from the hospital on yesterday. I am very sore, no appetite just thirsty. The nurse saw that I almost drank a entire bottle of water and freaked out. I can say I feel better than I did yeaterday. I am kind of happy I don't own a scale because I would be on it everyday. TTYL
Congratulations! I had my revision on the same day (band to RNY) and I am extremely thirsty but my swallow (barium) test revealed that the bottom my esophagus is extremely swollen and whatever I drink stays in my esophagus a little too long. Doc says the swelling will go down and that I will be able to feel the fluids going down. I made my hubby pull the battery out of my scale LOL - I would be doing the same thing!
My stomach seems to be swollen ... Honestly I look atleast 8 months pregnant. I wonder if this is normal??? How are you doing with your diet? I can say I am in less pain today, I even walked on the treadmill for 30 mins... Slow pace 2.0 mph.i feel much better.
I am so happy for you that surgery and recovery are going great! I imagine the swelling is more gas than anything else, even if you are not feeling it.
I look forward to watching your journey. I have been dis-approved for surgery 3 times by insurance now so I am just experiencing the excitement and experiences you all have. Maybe some day I will make it to those same great experiences you all have. I am still fighting and you all give me lots of encouragement! Especially when I read your stories..
I am impressed you did 30 min on the treadmill at this point! That is awesome!
I think mine sort of feels swollen, but it might be because every time I move I hold my stomach like I am 8 months pregnant! (Don't want anything falling out!) My diet is decent, but - I know I'm not eating as much as I should, or even getting as much liquids as I should I've fallen in love with the activia light yogurt, and I bought the isopure creamy vanilla protein powder - that mixed in soy is yummy. But I can't seem to get enough fluids. Partly because I feel like I am sleeping more than I am awake. I haven't gotten up to walking for long periods at a time. I seem to get exhausted easily. But the doctor told me if I at least stand up, once an hour (that I am awake) that will allow the blood to circulate. Yesterday we had massive thunder storms and it rained all day so I just stayed inside. It seems pretty today, I will make it a point to go outdoors and walk a bit.
I am feeling less and less pain. But the incision area is starting to itch like crazy!
Way to go!!!!! 20lbs is very good! I started getting on the treadmill yesterday and have had a lot of gas last night. Other than that no complaints. What foods are you eating now?
