RNY surgery 6-6-17 , So far so good

I had RNY surgery on Tuesday 6-6-17 . I had a few ruff days after surgery. Every time I drank I threw it up along with the dry blood from the surgery . Which was quite scarey . Dr told me it's because everything inside was swollen . By the 3rd day I only threw up in the morning after trying to take my meds. And didn't throw up again . I just had the worst acid reflux , which I had prior to surgery . Came home on day 4. Otherwise I'm in no pain , I feel like myself, just taking it easy. Today day 5 I've introduced yogurt , a protein shake and farina into the mix So far so good .

Welcome to the losers bench :)

So glad to hear you're doing better! Your experience so far has really put mine in perspective. My surgery was on 06/05 and I'm still feeling a lot of pain but I haven't had any vomiting or reflux, thankfully. The head hunger has been killer, though. I'm on strictly clear liquids until next Thursday so it's going to be a challenge, but I know I can get through it!

Wags1231 - sorry to hear you're still in pain. I think I just have a high tolerance for pain, When I had my hysterectomylast year I was back to work in five days, and I'm a hairdresser ?? I did pu**** . That's why I'm taking it a bit slower after this surgery. I tend to forget that my insides need to heal .

This morning hada 1/4 cup of farina for breakfast, and tend to eat fast cuz it's so thin I felt full a few bites in, so I put it down and did some chores and kept going back to it till I finished it . I'm wondering if I can have some pea soup I had some in my freezer I guess I can purée it make it smooth and possibly straight it.

Hey Bigred922;

I had my RNY the day after you and I am basically my usual self except if I have been up and walking for more than 40 mins. So glad you are feeling better! Looks like a good start to the rest of our lives :D

Jackie s - glad to hear you feel like yourself ð?'? Today I'm going to Walmart to get out of the house, I have to remember not to over do it with the walking .

I just got home from Sam's to get some Premiere Protein shakes (omg, sooo good) and it felt so great to be out in the real world again!

Congratulations, and welcome to the loser's bench. I'm so sorry you had such a rough go of it, but glad things are looking up now!
