    The earbuds for your phone was a life saver. I played a fan for white noise. I had a very noisy neighbor. And constant interruptions by staff. So with the earbuds I could sleep without interruptions. Lay leaning on your left side and you'll find the gas moves better.

    Honestly a desk job I think I will be fine I run my own daycare so I'm chasing little kids all day ages 5 months to 3 years old Plus I have three kids of my own ages 7,10,13. My morning starts at 5 am and I'm never even go to lay down until 1130. Between cleaning kids homework baths job dinner dishes laundry I expected to be completely wiped out. And I feel great!!! Alittle sore when bending but otherwise no complications no exhaustion. No nausea. I think as long as u have no complications at all u shld be fine I had the bypass done. You will have to keep me updated on how you do. Best of wishes U will do great!!!

    It's amazing how much we are not centered around food anymore. I sat there last night watching my husband eat dinner I made then an ice cream sandwich then party mix then beef Jerky then another ice cream sandwich and I'm like wow I would have usually ate something every time he did. His metabolism is a lot better then mine and he doesn't really put on the weight. He has a gut that's it. But it just really makes u think about how much my life re was centered around food. Lots of luck to you

    The anesthesiologist will give you plenty of meds to relax you and you will never know you are "going under." I remember getting ready to leave the pre-op area then the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery. Try not to worry

    yes I don't even remember going under I remember going into the operating room them say we're gunna give u something to relax u and then waking up in recovery lol. As soon as I woke up I asked to walk they said I had to be moved to my room before I could walk so they moved me to a room right away when they said are u ready to get into ur bed(from the stretcher) I said no I'm ready to take a walk. They were shocked. I was called the role model patient. I didn't sleep at all not even thru the night I just kept walking. I've never been away from my kids so I couldn't sleep without them. I was supposed to be there two days I went home the next day bc I was doing so well. It went so much better then I assumed I had gastric bypass.

    So I am four days postop. I feel great. I'm walking around I'm basically doing everything on my own around my house taking care of my kids. But I am really struggling to be able to get all my fluids and all my Protein and I don't feel dehydrated or anything like that I just can't seem to get it all in. The Water alone fills me up and makes me feel full. I love the feeling not being hungry though. Of course I haven't lost weight yet bc I'm swollen still instead I gained weight from all the fluids and being swollen which is to be expected Had my first bowel movement yesterday it was so wonderful. (Sad I know lol) I know my NUT said to just try my best to get in what I can!!! But like I said I feel great have slept in my bed since the day I came home. Was discharged the next day after surgery bc I did so well. Trying my best to get in what I can I don't wanna end up having to go to the hydration clinic. Anybody else experiencing the same issue post rny?
