dewy3 at home
Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. I am glad to be on the loser's bench.

YAY! Glad your home. Sorry it took a little longer for you, but as I said you were in good hands and I knew you were going to be ok! :)
Yep Overlake is awesome, isn't it? Which room did you get? Facing 405 or the east? I was facing east and in S522.
246 in Dec 2008 before banded 1/28/09 at 215 lbs, band crapped 9/09 at 170 lbs and struggled with it and regained to 203 revised to bypass on 8/1/11 and am very happy.
Glad to hear you are home. Take it very easy, and remember drinking (keeping hydrated) is more important that eating right now! In fact I'm surprised to hear you are trying eggs! My doc only allowed clear liquids for the first week! They all see to have a different idea of what is best for us!
Hope your honey can stay close to home for another week or so in case you need help, but if he can't, be sure to let us know if you need help.
Hugs!
I had the same surgeon as Dewy3 did, except I had lapband.
I think for that program Lapbanders were to do liquids for a week and RNYers can eat the next day with soft food after surgery.

Glad to hear your home. Looks like you and I are exactly 1 month apart. For me, I had open RNY and the so far the first 2 weeks were the roughest for me. For now I am learning each day containes new normal.
Get lots of rest, protein and keep up on your liquids it really really makes a difference in how you feel.
Wow, pureed eggs! I am really surpised your eating those, my Doc had me on liquids for first 2 weeks (low fat cream soups/broths/jello/sf jello) then I could try cottage cheese and eggs. Don't feel bad about gagging on food, your tummy is ANGRY with you right now, it will get better.
Good Luck and hope we can get that support group started in Olympia and we can meet.

Day of surgery is nothing by mouth, not even water. Second day is fluids only, if I remember. Third day you start on food
Like I said before surgerons are different.

Overlake hosiptal was really great. My room was S526. The sunrises were great to see. Even had a couple of student nurses that were wonderful. Colleen was the name of one of them and I have to say that she was probably the best one for making sure I was comfortable and was right there anytime I needed anything.
