Second Surgery Question
So I had my RNY 2-1-11 and finally began eating correctly and loosing weight. I just had a full hysterectomy Thursday, 5-26-11 and it seems that I'm starting all over again with my eating. I couldn't eat at all in the hospital, it hurt. I drank protein drinks and water as much as possible. Since I've been home, I have only managed to get 3-4 bites of food in 3 times a day. I have been drinking protein drinks but I haven't been measuring them. I haven't started my vitamins again yet either. This stinks, I feel like I'm starting over again. It hurts to eat and gas is the worse pain ever! Any suggestions from someone who has had a second surgery within 3-4 months after the first surgery?

Had my hysti 3 years after WLS and it does stink and the gas pain was awful. Lodged right under my ribs. Hang tough, sweetie. You're doing all you can do...same baby steps just like before but it will go quicker this time.

After spending a week in the hospital for my gall bladder with nothing to eat I feel your pain. My pouch would not allow anything in but hot liquids. Start small and just gradually work your way up and keep moving around as much as possible. If all you can get in is the protein drinks, then get them in and bring the foods in like you did in the beginning. After about a week to a week and a half I was back to my normal patterns. Hang in there, hope you feel better really soon.

Even after my Tummy Tuck a year and a half later - I had tremendous restriction.
It will get better and I hope you can get the pain managed.

Thank you all for your support and suggestions. I wasn't expecting this! I'm doing as you suggested and eating what I can but drinking protein drinks as I can. I will take it one day at a time. Thank you for your hugs. This really STINKS! Can you tell I like to get things done fast and I have little patience? LOL
