It has been one week since my gastric bypass.
I had a rough start due to some leftover scar tissue from previous surgeries. Because of bleeding, I ended up in the hospital for four nights instead of the expected one.
Since being released, though, things are going really well. I’m not having any difficulty drinking the required amount of liquid. I have been drinking Water, Crystal Light, V8, Gatorade Zero, and my Protein Shakes.
I have been driving for a few days with no problems. I feel pretty normal except for being pretty tired. I have had almost zero pain (from day one) from my surgical sites.
I am sending good vibes to those of you waiting for your April surgery.

I am finally home! I’m not happy that I had to spend five days in the hospital, but it is nice to be feeling pretty good when I came home. My hemoglobin level did drop .1 from yesterday, but it wasn’t enough of a drop to warrant a transfusion or for me to stay another day. So I am free! I just have to make sure to go immediately to the ER if I have any bloody vomit or diarrhea since my hemoglobin is already so low.
Now that I’m home I am just trying to get in a schedule of drinking Water, Protein Drinks, Crystal Light, etc and taking my supplements.

Thank you for your support.
My hemoglobin level went down to 7.9 on my second blood draw of the day, so I am having to stay another night in the hospital. I am no longer vomiting blood or having bloody diarrhea, so that is good news. My period started out of the blue (my period just ended a few days before surgery). Right now that is the only blood loss I’m experiencing.
If my hemoglobin count is better in the morning, I will get to go home. If it goes below 7 I will have to have a blood transfusion. Please pray that my level goes up.
As far as the bypass, I have no pain and am on no pain medication at all. It is easy to keep up with the Water and Protein Shakes as long as I keep on top of it.
Thank you again for your support. I know this is just a small hiccup in my journey and I will be very happy that I went through this.

Sorry I haven’t updated, I have had a rough couple of days since my surgery.
I had my bypass on Thursday morning. My incision pain has been minimal.
My problem has definitely been nausea. I was supposed to go home Friday, but I was so nauseous and in pain, they kept me yesterday. Yesterday was the worst day. I probably threw up 14-16 times. It was scary because it looked like blood when I threw up. They tried at least 4 types of anti-nausea medicines. But I still couldn’t even keep Water down. They kept me last night so they could give me IV hydration.
So now it is Sunday morning. I am SO hoping that I will go home tomorrow. I haven’t thrown up since about 8:00 last night. I have been able to take tiny sips of water.
I have always had trouble with nausea after surgeries, but this has definitely been the worst.
I am trying to think of long term results of this surgery.

I’m still in the hospital. 😕 The vomiting has stopped, but now I am expelling all the old blood out the other end.
I feel SO much better, though. My stomach pain and nausea are completely gone. They did a blood test this morning to make sure I didn’t lose too much blood. They will be repeating the blood test in about an hour. If that looks good, I get to go home today.
The doctor said I had so much blood because of the scar tissue left behind from other abdominal surgeries.
Today, I am not having any trouble drinking my Water and Protein Shakes. I’m just ready to get home.

I think I’m ready!
I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:30 and my surgery is at 9:30.
Hopefully I didn’t forget to do anything.
