I ate chicken noodle soup 5 days after surgery

LOL... Yes passing gas is the best after surgery!

The gas x helps alot but there is a limit to how many you can take in a day. I think it is 4 so i take one in the morning and one at night and that seems to help me.  They gave me LORITAB for pain and it works great but i only take 1/2 because i have small kids and need to be alert with them. 

You are really doing great with your water. GREAT! 

I dont have a drain. Why did they give you a drain? How many incisions do you have?  I have 6 (two on each side of my belly, one just below my breast and one just below my belly button) and my surgery was done laproscopic. What about you?

wen i got home from the hospital i did the same thing....experimented with all kinds of stuff and nothing gave me problems....but NOW at a lil over a month out....hmmm those things make me hurt soooo bad i thought i was dying....lol....so jus be careful...once those nerves come back in ur belly n u start healing...it's a whole new ball game...I was convinced i had an iron pouch or that for some reason the dr ddnt really do the surgery...lol.....today however I kno better....well, good luck to you and keep us posted!!!

 Yeah, I was starting to think that...what kinds of things hurt you?

Have you had any challenges since surgery? I cant wait to be one month post op. LOL  How much weight have you lost so far?  How much did you loose in the first two weeks?  I am scared to get on the scale for fear i didnt loose anything. LOL  My clothes are getting very loose so i know i did but not sure how much. When did you first weigh yourself?

Thanks

I just had mine done 4 days ago and ate a slice of cheese quesadilla. I chewed it to the consistency of mush. So far I haven't experienced any pain or anything.

I got mine done March 6th and last night I ate ramen noodles ; Plain Mr noodles ; and this morning I feel like something is stuck tho when I go to swallow even tho I chewed it to mush

The day after my RNY while in the hospital they brought me my first meal.
Small amount of tomato soup, jello, and some vanilla protein shake (about maybe 2 oz)
I was like you have got to be kidding me! food? soup? Mind you in my WHOLE life I never ate tomato soup, hated it!
I am here to tell you that was the best soup I ever had! Our tastes change quickly. It is also a soup that is pretty high in sugars, went down fine and I still have some once in a while, the tomato kind I mean.

Your not a freak, things get better and we learn to prepare ahead of time. You got home, safe and are able to get onto your band wagon for the right items needed to get your protein up. Most important are also the liquids.

Enjoy your ride/journey and hang on tight, there will be bumps and sharp turns heading your way
