Hi all! I had revision (VBG to rny) February 10th so I am 4 days out. Going back to work tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. Have not used any pain meds since I've been home but I have slept so much that I'm finding it hard to get all of my fluids in. I'm only allowed Water, crystal light, Powerade zero and broths. I can add Protein Drinks next week. My dr said three weeks liquid then four weeks Soups then start soft diet. I'm going on a cruise in April and hope to try soft foods before we go so I know what I can handle. These forums have been very informative and encouraging! Thanks!

I just had my revision from VBG to gastric bypass 5 days ago. My insurance finally did approve it as I had complications from the VBG 15 years ago. I had a lot more scar tissue than expected but it was completed laparoscopically. Scar tissue had adheared my liver to my stomach which took an hour and a half to remove. I am having extremely low energy I assume from only drinking Water, sugar free Powerade and chicken broth. I hope to start Protein Drinks next week. I'd like to hear others healing times, energy and what you ate post op. (I'm going on a cruise in two months!)
Thanks!
