Just updating everyone. Had RNY Gastric bypass 9/4/18 and doing well! They found a hiatal hernia during the procedure and repaired that also. I can't emphasize enough, get up and walk as much as you can while in the hospital and at home. It helps get rid of the gas that they pump you up with. Also use your spirometer to help with deep breathing. Knock on wood I have been very fortunate. Was off all pain meds 5 days post op. I go tomorrow for my bari class to see what I may be progressing to. Im thinking (hoping) pureed. Right now just liquids(at least 1 cup per hour while awake) plus 2 oz of that cup as a protein shake, of protein jello or broth. So getting around a shake a day. So far, no regrets and kind of wish I had done this a few years ago. Good luck everyone and keep me posted on your progress!
