hospital stay
Doc said the surgery was long, when I woke up I was in soon much pain. I was a revision from lapband to RNY. They were giving my pain meds in the IV but still the pain was horrible. Doc said it went great, my test results were great but he said u really look bad and I felt horrible. I think my first walk was day 2 and that was getting up and going to the restroom and i felt like i ran a race. Day 3 i walked the hall but could not do the lap. He made me stay so they could watch me.

lovenox shots
I didn't. I'm glad too I don't think I could have given myself a shot. I did have them everyday for the week I was in the hospital.

Itchy itchy itchy
I would check with the doc. Maybe u r having an allergic reaction to one of the meds. It's normal for the incisions to itch when they are healing but all over the body is something else and I'm not sure if we can have Benadryl.

Horror stories....
That is scary. I follow the doc's instructions. I don't want to take chances, get sick, fail or harm myself in anyway. Food is not worth my life. Talk with your doc, ask lots of questions and follow the docs orders. Best wishes

different goals?
My surgeon was the same. He would not give me a number he said I want u to be healthy and when u look in the mirror be happy with yourself and your appearance. I was sad at first, but now realize there is no pressure. I had my 3 month check up Thursday and the doc says I'm doing excellent. I was smiling ear to ear. I set small goals and I'm trying to lose the weight one pound at a time, learn new eating habits and set myself up for long term success.

PRE SURGERY DIET?
Good! I had my 3 month checkup yesterday doc says I'm doing excellent. I do have to work on eating more but other than that I'm okay. I made my mind up that there r certain things I DO NOT EAT period. Sweets were my weakness but I'm determined not to let that beat me so I DO NOT EAT sugar, with the exception of sugar in real food. I'm glad u and hubby r doing this together u guys support each other and keep each other accountable.
