Home from the hospital

I had my RNY on the 24th. Everything went well I'm home from the hospital now. I'm feeling pretty good considering what my body has gone through. The pain is tolerable even without medication, not hungry, alot of rumbling going on in my stomach. Tomorrow I start full liquids, any suggestions????

Hi Dori,

Congrats.  Walk and drink are my suggestions.  I am 3 weeks post op and had a minor set back today -- mild dehydration.  I was getting enough fluids for a "regular day" BUT not enough for a day that included a  1 hr workout.  Gasx strips and peri-colace were part of my daily regimen for the first 10 days or so.  On your liquids -- try to get your protein shakes in first.

Best of luck,

Adrienne

How in the heck are you working out so much. I am weak and having abdominal pain over my liver whenever I walk. I am having a rough week. Glad to hear you are doing well

And I am actually not happy about my workout routine right now.  I think my body needs more to move the scales because I was doing weights, cardio, and a personal trainer pre-op.  Hoping to get cleared for aqua class on Monday.  I may have to slow down a bit more though -- battling severe anemia (which is why I've been dizzy & tired this week).  Hang in there and listen to your body.

FYI I can be my own worse enemy but my surgeon & nutritionist already know this

Glad you're home and on the mend!!!

doing great!  my dr says, tomato soup, low fat cream soups strained, v8, yogurt without chunks, broth, and add protien to everything!

agreed...  walk walk walk..  that will expel the gas.... 

and same "diet" as apple jax mentioned... did your centre give you an outline of what you should be having ?

Each centre is different in their after care
